Reception

In Breve historia del cine mexicano: primer siglo, 1897–1997, Emilio García Riera cited the film as an example, alongside S.O.S. Conspiración Bikini (1967) and El asesino se embarca (1967), of Mexican films made in the 1960s to cash in on the success of the James Bond films, referring to them as examples of "underdeveloped James Bond-ism."[4]
