Armando spawned four singles: "Watagatapitusberry", "Maldito Alcohol", "Bon, Bon" and "Tu Cuerpo". The singles received airplay on Spanish radio and in Latin American countries. "Guantanamera (She's Hot)" would be reissued nearly fifteen years later on Trackhouse (Daytona 500 Edition) given a spike in popularity as a result of a TikTok trend.[11] According to a review by Allmusic, the album is named after Pitbull's father (and also, his real name). Armando won the Lo Nuestro Award for Urban Album of the Year.[12]
