John Anderson of Variety gave the film a positive review and wrote that "the characters are solid and the action sound, suggesting the film will do short time theatrically en route to ancillary rehab."[1]
Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Unable to shape these events into a dramatic structure, the director, Camilo Vila, resorts to a meandering tale of random indignities suffered by a lead so bland he comes across less as principled than as stupendously naïve."[2]
