Lucero Solórzano from Excelsior highlights the simplicity of the script and that it is not necessarily something negative, since it does not seek to judge or indoctrinate obese people, but rather merely tells a love story between 2 beings seeking to escape the sensation of "not fitting in", being fresh in the first act and despite the fact that the second act slows down, one can forgive him for the charisma of the leading duo.
