Ángel Faretta in Convicción wrote: "It is, above all, a juicy homage to the American thriller... A fictional universe controlled down to the smallest details, as the plot... in addition to the game of references and homages already mentioned, constitutes a solid story that blends equally the most thrilling action and the most carefree humor."
La Opinión wrote: "A different comedy... in terms of its direction, it aligns with the previous ones, that's true, but here everything is different: from the good editing to the individual work of Tincho Zabala, Cacho Castaña, Silvia Pérez, Carlos del Burgo, and Tito Mendoza."
Manrupe and Portela write: "A true minor classic. And an example of how to turn a commercial product into an interesting and entertaining film. Aristarain achieves it through his screenplay and his actors, in a parody of genre cinema where Tito Mendoza's James Cagney-like performance stands out."
