Reception
Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas rated the film 2 out of 5 stars, lamenting that "the lack of control over the script leads the film to nonsense", while citing some performances (such as Rellán's) as a positive point.[6]
Jordi Costa of El País deemed the film to be a "comedy of weak humor and erratic tone".[10]
