Reception

Manuel Piñón of Cinemanía rated the "surprising" noir film 4 out of 5 stars, considering that it is "written with astounding smarts and accuracy".
Rob Nelson of Variety considered that the "tepid" Spanish-language drama is undermined by its "slow pacing, thinly drawn characters, a limp climax and humorless tone".
