Falta Amor is also the last album featuring Ulises Calleros as guitarist, who would take over the reins of the band's management from that point on.[4]

The success of this work came at a key moment for the band, as the spirit of its members had fallen after the poor reception of their previous publications and even their vocalist, Fher Olvera, had begun to consider leaving the musical group.[5]

Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic stated that "Falta Amor is the Mexican pop/rock band's least noteworthy album by far – musically, at least – but it still has its moments".[1]
