Reception

Critical reception

Oscar Velázquez from CineFX highlights the excellent acting work of Fiona Palomo and that she feels fresh for this type of film, but also criticizes the performances of the secondary characters, calling them "not very expressive", in addition to commenting on their little development.^[9] On the other hand, Super User from Cinexplicación called the film cliché and predictable, but that doesn't make the film bad, it just makes it simpler and lighter, it also highlights Fiona Palomo's acting debut, calling it clean and charismatic.^[10]
