Desirée de Fez of El Periódico de Catalunya rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, writing that while "the plot development is predictable and the dialogues are often embarrassing", the premise has "charm", Font's direction is "more than correct", and Aitana underpins the film "with no apparent difficulty".[7]

Liz Kocan of Decider.com gave the film a positive recommendation deeming it to be "a hidden gem, a romantic fantasy that's broad and appealing, not too heavy on the farce or mistaken identities, and hits just the right notes".[8]

Javier Cazallas of HobbyConsolas scored the film with 73 points ('good') considering it "a charming, simple romantic comedy".[9]

Enid Román Almansa rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, deeming it to be "a small step for Aitana, a large success for Netflix" in the verdict.[10]

Beatriz Martínez of Infobae deemed the film to be a "prefabricated product whose only enticement is the appearance of a centennial star who does not know how to act".[11]
