Juan Pando of Fotogramas rated Fatum 3 out of 5 stars, deeming it to be a "good spectacle" owing to a "a well-squared script, with well-defined characters, unusual yet plausible situations and a well-dosed increasing suspense leading towards an uncertain denouement", while decrying the makeup and hairdressing of Tosar's character.[8]
Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas rated Galiñanes' debut with 73 points ('good'), deeming it to be a "very satisfying" film thanks to the social criticism vis-à-vis betting shops, the "magnificent" performances by Anaya and García and a script "that keeps you gripped until the last minute", while citing how Tosar's character becomes very obnoxious, with "no possibility of empathizing with him", as a negative point.[9]
