Enid Román Almansa of Cinemanía rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, pointing out that it is one of those movies making you leave the theatre with a smile on your face.[7]
Pablo Vázquez of Fotogramas rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, lauding how it strikes as complex and subtle balance navigating between the 'feel-good movie' genre and an almost libertarian hedonism.[4]
