The inclusion of Carlos Santana on the album stirred a controversy among certain Ciban exiles
in the U.S. who alleged Santana was sympathetic to the Fidel Castro
regime and Che Guevara
because he had worn a t-shirt
featuring Guevara's image created by Jim Fitzpatrick
. Emilio and Gloria Estefan issued a joint statement in March 2007, addressing the controversy:
"For the past 32 years of our caree,r our position against the Castro regime has been crystal clear . . . we have expressed our disagreement with the Cuban dictatorship
and have spoken worldwide of the pain of the Cuban people. We have never nor would we ever collaborate with anyone who supports the Cuban dictatorship or Che Guevara
. This should be apparently clear due to our trajectory".
90 Millas made it onto the 2007 Billboard Year-End
Charts", and ranked #28 at the Billboard

charts, the album ranked at #7 in the Top Tropical Albums, and #59 in the Top Latin Albums. Estefan also ranked seventh as the Top Tropical Albums Artist.
Tijana Illich from about.com said "Gloria Estefan's fourth Spanish-language album is her best, not surprising when you consider the spectacular cast of musicians that join her on this homage to her native Cuba. 90 Millas takes Estefan back to her roots with lots of varied Afro-Cuban rhythms and genres, some pure in form, others mixed with her trademark pop sound. A must have for any fan of modern, Afro-Cuban music".
, selling approximately 23,000 copies in its first week. In comparison, Estefan's previous English-language album, Unwrapped

. It also went into the Top 20 on Billbaord's Top Digital Albums.
The album enjoyed some success in other countries, charting at #1 in The Netherlands (becoming the first number-one album for Estefan since 1988's Anything For You

The album was also a Top 10 hit in Spain and Switzerland, and Top 20 in Italy and Europe overall.
" was released as the lead single on June 18, 2007. The song received some praise by Leila Cobo of Billboard Magazine who called it "a standout for impeccable production and enviable mix that allows every instrumental line (and there are many) to resonate with bell-like clarity. This is real music, to be danced to as much as cherished for its adept skill". The song was a success on the Latin charts, becoming Estefan's fourteenth number-one on the "Hot Latin Songs
" chart and was also another number-one on the Tropical Airplay charts. It was also a Top 20 hit in other Latin major charts such as Latin Pop Airplay, Latin Regional Mexican Airplay and Latin Rhythm Airplay charts. However, the song didn't make it onto the "Billboard Hot 100
" charting outside it at #117. To promote the song further in different formats, some remixes were made for the single, Cuban rapper Pitbull
performed on a Hip-Hop version of the song, and a Reggae mix featuring Puerto-Rican Wisin & Yandel
was also released. A Salsa remix was also made.
"Me Odio
" was released as the second single from the album in November 2007 as a radio-only single. The song was less successful in comparison to its predecessor, peaking at #37 on the "Hot Latin Songs

) and a Salsa version.
"Píntame De Colores
" was released as the third and final single from this album in February 2008, again as a U.S. radio promo single. Though the song was a hit in the Tropical Airplay charts, it failed to enter the major Latin charts, becoming Estefan's first single released solely to Latin music stations not to make the Hot Latin Songs chart.

Critical reception
Jason Birchmeier from Billboard commented that "ever since Gloria Estefan split from Miami Sound Machine in 1989 to go solo, her best efforts tended to be her Spanish-language ones, and her fourth such album, 90 Millas, is no exception. In fact, it might be her best overall effort -- regardless of language -- since Mi Tierra (1993), which was her first to be sung entirely in Spanish and an instant, best-selling classic. In a couple ways, 90 Millas is a follow-up to Mi Tierra".Tijana Illich from about.com said "Gloria Estefan's fourth Spanish-language album is her best, not surprising when you consider the spectacular cast of musicians that join her on this homage to her native Cuba. 90 Millas takes Estefan back to her roots with lots of varied Afro-Cuban rhythms and genres, some pure in form, others mixed with her trademark pop sound.
