Carlos Bonfil from La Jornada highlights that the director captures the monotony in youthful behavior very well, even pointing out that he manages to make the best of an expressive and captivating soundtrack, resulting in a novel film. On the other hand, Salvador Franco Reyes from Excelsior describes it as empty, superficial and obvious in regards to the theme of the story and the characters, he also regrets the use of music and some sequences.
