Sergio F. Pinilla of Cinemanía rated it 3½ out of 5 stars, writing that the film, dialogue-wise, "is too intense", featuring a not quite fitting climax, standing out for "its narrative and stylistic eloquence". He found a likeness with films by Sam Mendes, P.T. Anderson and Woody Allen.
Quim Casas of El Periódico de Catalunya scored 2 out of 5 stars, considering that some of the characters "are more interesting in theory than in practice", wondering if perhaps there was no need for such stridency, concluding that "excess eventually devours intensity".
