Carlos Quintana from About.com said that Líderes "represents a good example of what we can consider a modern Latin Urban music album. This production offers a good balance between the original flavors of Reggaeton and a sound shaped by defined Dance beats that can be heard throughout the whole album -- Overall, Líderes is an album that offers a good mix of a little bit of Reggaeton, Dance music and Latin Pop. Considering this mix is what is making Latin Urban music so popular today, Líderes does a good job in delivering just what the people want."{{cite web |first=Quintana |last=Carlos |title=Review: Líderes |url= http://latinmusic.about.com/od/wisinyyandel/fr/Wisin-Y-Yandel-Lideres-Album-Review.htm |publisher=About.com|accessdate=July 7, 2012|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121112200655/http://latinmusic.about.com/od/wisinyyandel/fr/Wisin-Y-Yandel-Lideres-Album-Review.htm|archivedate=November 12, 2012}} Although Billboard estimated the album will sell between 10 thousand and 15 thousand copies in the first week in the US, it only sold 3,427 copies.{{Cite web|title=Los Vaqueros' vende más que Los'Líderes'de Wisin y Yandel|url=https://www.oxigeno.fm/2012/los-vaqueros-venden-mas-que-los-lideres-de-wisin-y-yandel-1721201-108856.html|access-date=2022-01-29|website=Oxígeno}}
