The show debuted in April 2003. Although it rated better than Canal 9's average numbers, it couldn't top the success of the previous "Chiquititas" seasons and ratings were also lower than "Rebelde Way". In the middle of the year, due to a crisis in Canal 9, the show changed to America 2 alongside "Rebelde Way" and the one-month hiatus and frequent time slot changes in the new channel affected the show greatly. Even so, it still rated better than the channel's average. Even though ratings weren't as big as hoped, commercially the show was still a success, being sold to over 30 countries. The soundtrack album achieved Gold certification (a modest result compared to other Chiquititas' albums). Although it underperformed in Argentina, in Israel the show was a huge success, helped by hype surrounding "Rebelde Way" and the original "Chiquititas", which had exploded there only a few years prior. The complete cast of the program visited Tel Aviv for a series of concerts at the Nokia Arena, with over 50.000 tickets sold.
