La Gran Señora reached number two on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart in the United States and number nine on the Mexican Albums Chart. Five singles were released from the album: "Ya Lo Sé", "Por Que No Le Calas", "Déjame Volver Contigo", "La Gran Señora", and "Amarga Navidad". Alex Henderson of Allmusic gave the album a positive review and said, "La Diva de la Banda has no problem excelling in a mariachi-oriented environment."
The album earned a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Ranchero Album at the 11th Annual Latin Grammy Awards in 2010. It also received a nomination at the 2010 Oye! Awards for Popular Album of the Year. A sold-out promotional tour led to the recording of the live album La Gran Señora en Vivo, Rivera's follow-up album.
