Jonathan Holland of Variety considered that the film "raises an occasional smile but is largely indigestible thanks to the anything-goes plotline, lack of warmth and general derivativeness".[3]
Javier Ocaña of El País wrote that the broad-brush comedy is "seasoned with an intrigue plot lacking in interest and a nefarious direction of actors".[4]
