Reception

Corriere della Sera's Paolo Baldini described the film as "an ultra-classical, comforting and reassuring commedia all'italiana", of which the highlight are the duets between Castellitto and Ferilli, that are reminiscent of Alberto Sordi and Monica Vitti's films. According to Giancarlo Zappoli from Mymovies.it the film "is not just an homage to the classic "commedia all'italiana" but goes further by proposing a critical reading of the present, while keeping away from sterile imitation attempts".
