Reception Víctor A. Gómez of La Opinión de Málaga decried the film as an example of "soulless cinema, presented with such overwhelming correctness that it flattens the few wrinkles of interest" it might have possessed, in a similar way to other films produced by Tornasol.
Javier Ocaña of El País lamented that the film, otherwise "stuck 25 years in the past", "lacks depth in its treatment and punch in its mise-en-scène.
In a 1-star rating, Manuel J. Lombardo of Diario de Sevilla described the "wrong" film as an "erratic and disjointed" work.
