Jonathan Holland of Variety deemed the film to be "well meaning but as fatally flawed as the characters who drive it".[4]
Mirito Torreiro of El País highlighted a "superb" performance by Ingrid Rubio, but pointed out at flaws worth mentioning, such as the film getting lost in trying to be credible vis-à-vis the resolution of the hostage crisis.
