Recording and composition

Promotion and release

The album's lead single, "Amor compartido", was released in November 2011. The corresponding music video, released on 27 January 2012, was shot in Honduras at the ruins of Copán and the Fortaleza de San Fernando; the band thanked the Instituto Hondureño de Antropología e Historia for allowing them to film at the protected sites.
The album was released on 31 January 2012. Those who pre-ordered the album on iTunes received a free download of the single "Julián Pérez", the main song in the movie Saving Private Perez. Following the project's release, the band went on an eponymous tour of both Mexico and the U.S. in support of the album from March to June.
After starting their tour, the band recorded music videos for "365 Días" and "Rehabilitado" in Jalisco, both of which starred Colombian actress Ximena Córdoba. The former, released on 22 May 2012, was filmed in the tallest building in Guadalajara, the Hotel Riu Plaza, and includes shots from a helicopter. The latter was released on 19 March 2013 and was shot in the town of Tequila.

Critical reception

The album was rated 3.5 out of 5 stars by David Jeffries of AllMusic. Comparing it to their previous narcocorrido album, he wrote that "365 Dias brings the love song back into the group's life". He added: "The band sound invigorated after leaving the topic aside for an album, and while this is a lightweight effort compared to El Arbol, the band are equally committed to the material."
