Fernando Masllorens commented in Convicción: "Does the film reach the viewer with this universal sense? Only partially, since the fantastic treatment at the beginning is limited to the specific problem of the pregnant woman, and the final sequence is purely realistic."
Alfredo Andrés wrote in La Razón: "Doria has crafted a story as concise as it is expressive."
Manrupe and Portela wrote: "An apocalyptic parable with good performances but excessively drawn out."
