Alejandro Alemán from Semanario Eje Central wrote: "Although the most cynical will find friendship between a septuagenarian and a teenager impossible, (...), it is also impossible not to recognize the good manufacturing of this film that aims to make us smile. It succeeds, and by far."[9] Jesús Chavarría from La Razón de México wrote: "The director does not bet on sensationalism or technical fanfare, nor are there false pretensions or condescension, only the trade and honesty at the service of a story that leads the nature of empathy to take shape in the cinema."[10]
