Selena had promoted "Dulce Amor" during her Dulce Amor Tour. Selena also promoted "Preciosa" (1988) along with her Dulce Amor Tour. This was because the two albums were released in the same year. Selena had performed songs from "Dulce Amor" on the Johnny Canales Show in South Texas, she also had done live concerts across Texas. Selena earned $20,000 from the Dulce Amor Tour, which was double the amount she had made for her Preciosa Tour.
Norberto Garcia of "Texas Monthly" stated that "Dulce Amor" was one of Selena's "strongest" LP record because it "showcase her exotic voice and expanded her talents[...]". Domingo Rivera of "Tejano Nation" believed every song on "Dulce Amor" was horrible. Rivera stated that he did not like not even one song. He also stated that Selena could have done better with modern styles of Tejano music instead of mixing 1960s music into her songs. Rivera then stated the album was "out of date" even when it was released in 1988. Sophia Vargas of "Tejano Weekly" believed that "Dulce Amor" was not Selena's best of work. Vargas believed that RP Records did not put their "all" for Selena.
