Yandel stated that "Como Antes" is "a very danceable reggaeton song with an energy just like old times". [1] The concept of the song was "to remember the music that Wisin &Yandel used to make before" but adding "a touch of 2017 by giving an update to that type of music." [2] The lyrics mention various songs by Wisin &Yandel,including "En La Disco Bailoteo" (2003),"Dembow" (2003),"Saoco" (2004),"Mírala Bien" (2005),"Pam Pam" (2006),"Pegao" (2006),"La Pared" (2007),and "Ahora Es" (2007).

Suzette Fernandez of Billboard stated that the duo "goes back to their roots,to their unique sound and street lyrics," being elements that "have been lost with the evolution of the genre,but made them an iconic urban duo back in the early 2000s." [8] Isabelia Herrera of Remezcla.com praised the production of the song by stating that it is "a glorious rush of throwback perreo,complete with old school snare rolls,a stream of shout outs in the outro,and the moan of a reggaeton chorus girl." [10] She concluded her review by expressing that the track "is indeed a powerful version of their 'receta original,' even if 'ponle dembow' and 'pam-pam-pam' aren't the most inspired hooks of the duo's career." [10] An editor of Colombian digital magazine KienyKe stated that the success of the song is caused by "a production that combines the sounds from the past and the present to perfection." [11] The redactor also expressed that "the song conserves the duo's classic style,with a melody that remembers classics such as 'Pegao','Dembow','Rakata','Mírala Bien',or 'El Teléfono'." [11]

W with Yandel come back with a very danceable reggaeton song with an energy just like old times, that's why I wanted to give the song that title.From 1:35 to 1:56.
I think they took the concept where I wanted to, which was to remember a bit the music that Wisin & Yandel used to make before but with a touch of 2017, giving it an update to that type of music.From 6:40 to 7:10.
