Te Guste

Of working with Lopez, Bad Bunny revealed: "I barely said a word to her because I was so nervous. I felt the pressure", adding: "She's a total professional, a diva, a mega-star, not just in music but in the entertainment industry. You always learn from the greats, and J.Lo is one."[2] The Fader called the track reggaeton and a "long-awaited" collaboration.[1] According to Suzette Fernandez of Billboard, the song's lyrics feature an exchange "when a couple meet for the first time, like each other and are remembering that moment."[3]

Mike Wass of Idolator was positive, writing: "The reggaetón banger is certainly catchy enough and that summery production is guaranteed to cure the winter blues."[4] Jeff Benjamin of Forbes noted that the song "lets J.Lo hone in on [sic] her musical chameleon style and deliver on a trap-y cut, while Bad Bunny can shine in the sound that made him a star. Plus, with Bad's recent hot streak and his two aforementioned hits, this collaboration is mutually beneficial to both parties who want to further up their already impressive weight in the Latin-pop world and continuously prove their superstardom."[5] NPR's Stefanie Fernández was receptive of the song, stating: "None of it feels like she's trying too hard; she has earned this [...] It would seem that if everything Bad Bunny has touched this year has turned to gold, JLo has the power to make it stay."[6] Rolling Stone writer Brittany Spanos described "Te Guste" as a "trap-pop gamechanger" and a "rom-com of a duet".[7]

The song's accompanying music video, directed by Mike Ho,[4] was called "vacation-themed", "warm-toned and tropical" by Billboard.[8] In the video, Lopez wears a yellow bikini, while Bad Bunny is shown wearing various colorful, patterned shirts.[8] Lopez received widespread complementation and praise for her body.

Lopez revealed she had collaborated with Bad Bunny in October 2018, and shared a trailer for the music video they shot together for the song in November.[1]
