The same as Lopez's several other music videos, "Adrenalina" visual includes street chases, leather and the lack of clothing, the underground atmosphere, and a final clandestine party, while according to E! Online, Martin's appearance "gives it a different touch" and "triggers the sexual tension of the video".

On April 25, 2014, it was announced that Hundred Proof Club, Think Famous Productions, Akela Family and JDK Entertainment were suing Sony Music and King for fraud in the Sony and FIFA's SuperSong competition. The lawsuit claimed that the competition was rigged and that King, who co-wrote "Vida" was always going to win, cheating the other entrants out of their chance of winning the competition. Although the contest was open to applicants worldwide, King had a contractual agreement and Sony apparently asked King to enter the song "Vida": Sony allegedly pressured the plaintiffs to release King from his contract so that he would be eligible to win, in return for compensation.[22]
Melissa Redman of Renowned for Sound gave the song three and half stars out of five and wrote that "the track is everything you would expect from Ricky Martin and a single for a global sports event."[1] She also stated that although the song is not "groundbreaking" it is "a lively and exuberant track that people are bound to bop away to".[1] Redman concluded that it is better than Pitbull's "We Are One (Ole Ola)", which serves as the official song of the tournament.[1] Mike Wass of website Idolator wrote, "there's something to be said for consistency and Ricky sure knows how to knock out a summery smash with generic Spanglish lyrics that probably sound pretty inspiring after a couple of Coronas."[25] "Vida" received nomination for a Start-Party song at the 2014 Premios Tu Mundo held on August 21, 2014.[26] In 2022, Noelia Bertol from Cadena Dial ranked it as one of the "10 Ricky Martin songs that brighten up summers".[27]
