Critical reception

[edit]

"Tú Y Yo" is a song from the electrocumbia genre that mixes tropical sounds with synthesizers.[2] The song generated positive reviews from the Mexican press and named the duo "King and Queen of Electrocumbia." The Mexican newspaper Diario Basta! praised Rubio's versatility of working in different musical genres.[3] Josh Mendez of Monitor Latino flatters the duo and said they achieved the "ideal match."[4]

The song won Cumbia Song of the Year - Regional Mexican at the 33rd Lo Nuestro Awards in February, 2021[5]
