Upon release, the song received mostly positive reviews from Spanish-speaking media. The Regueton.com site published: "“Bye” is yet another example of his talent and versatility (of Peso Pluma), consolidating his position as one of the most outstanding figures within the Corridos Tumbados genre".[5] The Mexican newspaper Milenio called it a "heartbreak" song.[6] the Spanish digital newspaper Okdiario named it as "his most sincere and personal song" describing it as: "much more intimate and with a slower melody than his previous releases".[7] Lucía Coca from the site Los 40 Urban expressed: "Bye talks about a breakup, and he does it with cutting verses and lyrics loaded with pain and a lot of emotion" concluding that "it could become a ballad completely different from the others".[4]

It also debuted at number 56 on the Global 200.[11]
