Reception
In May 1980, , in ' wrote:
(Trueba, lover of dream epics speaks of what he sees, with tenderness, with sarcasm, with freshness, without solemnity, without looking for definitive exits, without asking for anything, with intelligence. 'Opera prima', comedy, piece of life, purity in motion, jump into the ring without shells that scare away danger.)
