Luciano E. Soriano, writing for the Manila Standard, gave Kambal Tuko a negative review. He criticized its fantastical elements and excessive number of colorful characters as unnecessary, as he thought that the main premise of a family dealing with real-life issues in raising conjoined twins has potential to be a good story on its own.
