Background

Quevedo expressed in a statement that he wanted to convey how he has searched to find where he wants to be, both in "the geographical sense and from the sense of [his] career" on the album. Regarding the title, he stated that he was initially unsure whether to make it a "question or affirmation", but made his mind up that he is clear about "where he wants to be".[4] The song "Yankee" is named after and a tribute to Puerto Rican reggaeton artist Daddy Yankee.[5]

Luis M. Maínez of Mondo Sonoro wrote that the album is "on par with almost any star of the international genre" and complimented how Quevedo made the album without a major label, although acknowledged that "Quevedo's success is the crystallization not only of his own talent, but also of the work and commitment of many others who tamed the horses he now rides".[1]
