Reception

Commercial performance

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.

Critical response

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." 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."

Promotion
