 "The Dallas Morning News" editor Mario Tarradell regarded "Dormir Contigo" as one of the "sensual and solemn ballads" on the album.Similarly, John Lannert of "Billboard" magazine considered the track to be one of the "pair of moving romantic ballads" (the other being "Soy Yo" which Manzanero also composed).Richard Torres of "Newsday" cited the ballad as one of the best tracks on the record.
