Critical reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 45% of 11 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 5.9/10.[16]

Arturo Magaña from Cine Premiere praised the acting work of the main cast, especially the performance of Damián Alcázar who manages to play a fun and wild role. It also positively highlights the script work that takes up elements of national black cinema.[17] On the other hand, Rafael Rosales Santos from Konexion criticizes the plot of the film that becomes incoherent because of its director, the editing full of cuts that makes it uncomfortable and subtracts the performances from the cast, and the photography full of close-ups that makes it uncomfortable.[18]
