Jonathan Holland of "Variety" deemed the film to be "a quietly engrossing debut for helmer/co-writer Juana Macias that unpacks the crosscut lives of four women in crisis". Reviewing for "El País", Javier Ocaña considered the film to be a "notable debut" for Macías, highlighting as virtues the subtlety of the script, the magnificent performances, and the agile staging. Both Ocaña and Holland observed a resemblance in several ways to the 2000 film "Amores perros" (which also stars Goya Toledo). Fausto Fernández  of "Fotogramas" gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, highlighting the teen contrast offered by Aura Garrido's performance, whereas he cited the presence of egalitarian cliches as a negative point.
