The title track and the song "El Talismán" were used in the soundtrack of the 1996 movie Curdled.[2] Billboard noted: "An accomplished pianist and guitarist, Rosana Arbelo's extraordinary voice gives Lunas Rotas an intimate quality. […] flamenco-pop sisters Azúcar Moreno are among those who have recorded her songs, and like that of Azúcar Moreno, Arbelo's music has a distinct Caribbean and Latin influence".[3]
As of September 2016, Lunas Rotas was ranked joint 7th in the list of best-selling albums in Spain; it had certified physical sales of 1,100,000 according to Productores de Música de España (PROMUSICAE).[4] It further sold 400,000 units in Europe as of 1998.[5]
