Raquel Hernndez Lujn of 'HobbyConsolas' gave it 72 out of 100 points, deeming it to be a "fun film", praising the developments around the Beln Rueda's character, while considering that some secondary characters could have been removed.
In 'El Peridico de Catalunya', Beatriz Martnez rated the film with 3 out of 5 stars, deeming it to be a "competent" mainstream product which, commonplaces and plot cliches notwithstanding, is endowed with a sensibility removed from conventionalisms when approaching the characters, particularly the female ones.
Miguel Anxo Fernndez of 'La Voz de Galicia' highlighted Rueda's performance, also writing that the film confirms director Arantxa Echevarra as a consolidated value, while noting that the comedy features a tendency to absurdity which may put viewers off at certain moments, reasoning that a degree of "restraint" would have benefited the film.
