THE CEO of IFPI, French Moore declared: “We are incredibly excited to honor Bad Bunny, the first Latin American artist to win an IFPI Global Award, with the Album of the Year award. His unique sound, encapsulated in his award-winning album Un Verano Sin Ti, has captured the world’s attention on a remarkable scale over the past 12 months.”

In 2022, TIME analyzed the album's musicality, and the rhythms of Central America as a reference to the record: “Driven by the musical styles of El Caribe, ranging from reggaeton and dembow to merengue and cumbia, and reinforced by elements of dance hall and techno, Benito (Antonio Martínez Ocasio, Bad Bunny's real name) firmly roots the album in the deeply personal, exploring the universal experiences of love, loss and the ultimate pleasure of being alive, for an exceptional project that is genre-defying, intergenerational and innovative,” complements the magazine under analysis.
