Reviewing for HobbyConsolas, Raquel Hernández Luján gave the film 66 out of 100 points, deeming it to be a film displaying a good technical workmanship and a screenplay with ups and downs, highlighting the performances (particularly Gutiérrez') and the atmosphere, while considering that the film was dragged by a final stretch making it to fall apart and a "dispensable" and "cliche" sex scene with saxophone.

Writing for Cinemanía, Sergio F. Pinilla gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars, writing that amid the plot there is a "vaudeville-like" human story (that of Galocha's character) that the film is not able to bring forward "with solvency".

Federico Marín Bellón of ABC gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, deeming it to be a "castizo and powerful" thriller.
