Reception
In a 2-star rating, Manuel J. Lombardo of Diario de Sevilla assessed that the screenplay seems to have been written with "a handbook of clichés and plot devices for old-fashioned madcap comedies in one hand, and the white paper on promoting tourism in the Canary Islands in the other".[11]
