Reception
Jordi Costa of El País lamented that "the accumulation of supposedly sardonic lines" hints at "the mannerist effort of a writing team more concerned with effect than with the naturalness of the whole".[9]
Juan Pando of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, writing that "with some hiccups in its rhythm, [it] achieves, as it progresses, a balance between comedy and emotion".[10]
Sergio F. Pinilla of Cinemanía described the film as a "bold and not entirely effective screwball comedy".[7]
Eulàlia Iglesias of El Confidencial celebrated that the game of seduction between two women was part of the romantic conflict while pointed out that the portrayal of the wealthy protagonists was not mean enough.[1]
Alfonso Rivera of Cineuropa lamented that "the plot holds few surprises and takes some narrative shortcuts that stretch the suspension of disbelief a little too far".[5]
