Reception
Jonathan Holland of Variety considered it to be "unusually safe and dependable for a debut feature" [...] successfully managing "to conceal the limitations of its budget and shooting schedule" "while only occasionally igniting passions".[2]
Augusto Martínez Torres of El País declared the film one of the best Spanish policíacos of the time, finding Adolfo Fernández's overacting to be its only issue.[1]
