      Reception


      Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas rated the film with 4 out of 5 stars, drawing out Solier's performance as the best thing about the film.
      Reviewing for Cinemanía, Carlos Marañón scored 3½ out of 5 stars, considering that Amador "is not going to be his most complete film, nor the most groundbreaking, nor even the most remembered, but this is surely Fernando León's most optimistic film".
      Javier Ocaña of El País considered that Fernando León repeats much of the shortcomings of Princesses in Amador, even losing the comedy touch present in Barrio and Mondays in the Sun.
