Miguel Ángel Romero of Cinemanía rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, considering that starting with a powerful idea, the film becomes less and less effective as it progresses, being a more than worthy film notwithstanding.[9]
José Luis Losa of La Voz de Galicia assessed that the film never works either as an emotional drama or as a horror film.[10]
