The lead single "Mi mami" featuring Cardi B, produced by Chael, became his first song to debut inside the US Hot Latin Songs at number 42.[3][4][5] However, it received backlash by critics and fans alike due to the musical structure. Many observed that the track should have been Dembow instead of dancehall.[6][7]
El Hombre became his first album to debut inside the Top 10 of the US Billboard Top Latin Albums chart at number 7, and peaked at number 6 at the US Latin Rhythm Albums, selling over 2,000 in the first week.[8] Following the success of the album, El Alfa won Best Urban Artist at the 35th annual Soberano Awards.[9][10] To promote the album, El Alfa embarked on a US Tour titled El Animal Tour.
