[5] Antoine-Samuel Mauffette Alavo from Exclaim! gave the album a 9 out of 10, writing that "with the release of Balvin's fifth solo album, JOSE, he is on a mission to humbly recapture his seat on the throne — and undeniably succeeds". [7] Ecleen Luzmila Caraballo from Rolling Stone gave the album three and a half stars out of five, writing that Balvin "promises introspection but instead gives us more of what we’ve come to expect", and that "this isn't a new J Balvin, just the one we've known all along". [8]

In a more mixed review, Robin Murray from Clash rated the album a 6 out of 10, commenting on the length of the album writing that "it struggles under the weight of its 24 track span – clocking in at more than hour, the record at times tries the patience", though he highlighted the tracks "Que Locura", "Una Nota", "Que Mas Pues?" and "Suerte" as high points of the album.
