Before its official release, the track leaked onto the internet, which prompted Rubio's team to release the song officially. "Ni Una Sola Palabra" had different release formats with a number of remixes and versions. Music critics praised the track's production, catchiness and fresh, and compared it with Rubio's first releases. It became a commercial success, peaking at number-one on the record charts of major markets, including "Billboard" charts Hot Latin Songs and Latin Pop Songs. In the latter, "Ni Una Sola Palabra" became Rubio's third and final single on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart. It was also included in many critic lists for Rubio's top singles and is often ranked as one of the best Latin songs of the 2000s.
