[6] Rodrigo Torrijos of Rolling Stone Colombia gave it a score of three and a half stars out of a possible five, stating that Fait Vivir "uses the poetry that inhabits reality and makes it dance with its doses of fantasy, looks beyond the limits of the documentary genre and creates a journey full of positivism in which it is easy to get lost".
