Reception
The film critic Lorenzo Hortelano considered Red Cross Girls one of the best examples of the "well-meaning, humorous and nostalgic popular" Spanish cinema of the 1950s and 1960s, following a romantic narrative set against a background that "praises "the joy of the 'modern' Madrid of the fifties."

In the 1980s some Spanish critics dismissed this film's genre as “silly comedies” that presented a false view of Spanish life.

Soundtrack
The main theme, composed by Augusto Algueró became a popular hit in Spain.
