Golden receive positive reviews by the critics. Mariano Prunes from Allmusic gave three out five stars to the album stating "Santos sticks to his new bachata sound, but with diminishing returns this time. For someone who has made his name by mixing bachata with other genres, there is a noticeable sameness to much of this material". [18] The author praised the instrumentalization and the featured guest. However, he stated that it had mixed results. Matthew Ismael Ruiz from Pitchfork gave the album 6.8 out 10 stating "The Bronx-born pop star expands his musical empire on Golden. But for the all the album’s myriad sounds, its roots are firmly planted in bachata, the sounds of the campo". [19]
