Reception Variety'''s critic Deborah Young panned the film, describing it as "a mass of undigested drama", in which "pieces of history, [...] had they been better dramatized, could have laid the foundations for a fascinating film". Lietta Tornabuoni from La Stampa'' was also critical, noting that "the intentions were commendable and ambitious", but "the slow, dragging pace does not offer opportunities for reflection, instead provoking frustration".
