[9] Jonathan Holland of ScreenDaily underscored the film to be "an engaging and energetic tragi-comic take on the multiple insecurities of masculinity in middle age".
[1] Javier Ocaña of El País deemed the film to be "a worthy story of friendship among peers" and, drawing a comparison to 1960s and 1970s Italian cinema, wrote that "Gutiérrez and Zahera could perfectly be Vittorio Gassman and Alberto Sordi in search of themselves".
