Critical reception
Jordi Costa of El País wrote that "the worst thing about 'Maktub' is not only its aggressive combination of television aesthetics and sentimentality" "but its thinly disguised status as promotional fiction".[14]
Irene Crespo of Cinemanía rated the film 2 out of 5 stars deeming it to be a "family fable crammed with carols and faith".[2]
