Reception
Commercial performance
On the Billboard charts the volume for each album was charted separately, the Volume 1 debuted at number 5 on the Top Latin Albums while on the Top Rap Albums the album debuted at number 16. The Volume 2 debuted at number 6 on the Top Latin Albums and number 17 Top Rap Albums, one position lower in each chart than the Volume 1.[8]
About the Vol. 1, David Jeffries from Allmusic said "Those who have experienced Wisin & Yandel's intense live show know what excitement they're in for here, but the concept of splitting the reggaeton duo's La Revolución Live set into two volumes calls for a little guidance. Both volumes feature highlights from the La Revolución tour -- a definite high point of the duo's career -- followed by three new studio tracks [...] This is a desirable package on its own, but it works best when paired with the equally pleasing Vol. 2."[9] About the Vol. 2 he said "The live portion of Vol. 2 features a live band that adds some organic flavor to the synthetic backing tracks. Their flashy -- and fairly trashy -- collaboration with R&B star T-Pain, gives Vol. 2 the slight edge over Vol. 1, but both work best when paired for the full La Revolución Live experience."[10]
"Estoy Enamorado" was selected as the first and only single from the album released digitally on July 12, 2010.[4] The music video was premiered on August 19, 2010, it was directed by Wisin & Yandel's long-time director, Jessy Terrero, a music video for the Remix featuring Mexican-American singer-songwriter Larry Hernández was also filmed, but not yet released.
