Critical reception

edit

According to Billboard, the team of El Conejo noted Mora’s prowess at writing sweet lyrics and his keen eye for singable reggaeton vocals a few years ago. The remix of “Volando” is an appetizer of this blend — and Mora is not shy even among two of the most current Latin music heavyweight holders: Bad Bunny, with his wholehearted lines, and Sech, who brings an R&B soulfulness to the track. Producer Sky Rompiendo also does a great job grasping the emo and pop-punk comeback, creating the infusion of warm guitar riffs into the beat.[4]
