Writing for Rolling Stone , Elias Leight called Aura "a step beyond the reggaeton and trap that Ozuna is known for" and highlighted several tracks that compare to the "insta-classics" from Odisea, saying "'Besos Mojados,' a collaboration with veterans RKM & Ken-Y on which Ken-Y threatens to out-sing Ozuna, and 'Ibiza,' which appears to get prettier every time it gets played. [... And t]rap-heads will be pleased with 'Pasado y Presente,' a magnetic collaboration with Latin trap forefather Anuel AA". [9] In conclusion, Leight stated that "Aura has just one weakness — at 20 songs, it's more drawn out than it needs to be. But with an inventive singer like Ozuna at the helm, even when Aura drags, it never loses its buoyancy for long." [9] The song was nominated for a Latin American Music Awards of 2019 in Favorite Urban Song category.f [10]

Aura debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200 with 49,000 album-equivalent units (including 7,000 pure album sales). [11] It is the biggest sales week of 2018 for a Latin album. [11]
