In 2013, American recording artist Marc Anthony covered "Flor Pálida" on his album 3.0. Released as the third single from the album,[4] Anthony's cover was arranged and produced by American musician Sergio George.[5] Hector Aviles from Latino Music Cafe called Anthony's cover "a great tribute to Polo’s original version with his performance."[6] New York Times editor Ben Ratliff referred "Flor Pálida" along with "Espera" and "Cautivo de Tu Amor" as the "best of the kind".[7] A.D. Amorosi of the Philadelphia Inquirer called the song "impresionante".[8] David Wilson of Wilson & Alroy's Record Reviews said that "Just when you think the romantic "Flor Pálida" is going to upshift into horn-backed montuno, it mellows out with a Carlos Vives-style handclapped chorus."[9]
