Reception
Jonathan Holland of Variety deemed the film to be "an above-average if over-derivative Spanish laffer" which "has fun written all over it and contains more than its share of astute observational comedy, but too often mistakes laffs for the merely absurd".[5]
Irene Crespo of Cinemanía rated the film 2½ out of 5 stars, comparing it to a mix of Love Actually and Escenas de matrimonio, considering that the hook consisting of the extended cast full of known faces "gets lost along the way and soon [the film] falls into cliché, clumsy and predictable love situations".[9]
