AllMusic awarded the album 3 stars and the review by Steve Huey states, "Regrouping his Latin backing band Los Cubanos Postizos, Marc Ribot offers a sequel to his 1998 Arsenio Rodríguez tribute The Prosthetic Cubans in Muy Divertido! ("very entertaining"). While there are once again a few songs penned by Rodríguez, there's also a greater variety of composers represented, including three Ribot originals... Overall, it's a worthy follow-up for anyone who enjoyed the first installment".[3]

On All About Jazz Douglas Payne wrote "eccentric downtown guitarist Marc Ribot has made a career out of being unpredictable - and never less than totally interesting ... Restless Ribot varies the menu with all sorts of spicy flavors on ¡Muy Divertido! (Very Entertaining!) , never settling in one place for longer than the fun will last. He crafts interesting uses of vocals and, most appealingly, organ to keep the whole party a little off kilter too. The first time it's a fiesta. But each time you come back - and this listener found it hard to resist - Ribot reveals some magical musical gifts here that go well beyond Cuban territories".[4]
