From this debut album, some songs became particularly emblematic and, at the same time, generated debate. "Que no te haga bobo Jacobo," for example, made a direct reference to the media figure of Jacobo Zabludovsky, presenting him as an untrustworthy voice. Another track that caused a stir was "Gimme The Power," a strong critique of the Institutional Revolutionary Party politicians who were in power at the time. The song "Puto" also generated discussion, being interpreted by some as an attack on the homosexual community. The album's title, for its part, was a clear allusion to Maná's ¿Dónde jugarán los niños?, which in turn was inspired by a song by Cat Stevens.
¿Dónde jugarán las niñas? was not only a sales success but also captured critical attention. It received a nomination for the Latin Grammy awards in 1998 for "Best Latin Alternative Rock Album." Major publications such as Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and Chicago Tribune highlighted it among the best works of 1998. The album's impact extended internationally, earning sales recognition in countries like Spain, Chile, the United States, Argentina, and Colombia. In Argentina, during the Surco Fest Concert in Buenos Aires, the band celebrated surpassing 800,000 copies sold.
