Reception

Beatriz Martínez of Fotogramas highlighted the sense of "a voice with style and personality" behind the camera as the best thing about the film, otherwise hampered by "certain tendency to self-absorption and posturing".[6]

Alberto Luchini of El Mundo rated the "haunting" debut film 2 out of 5 stars, assessing that it alternates hits (such as the protagonist's ambiguous character building) with misses (such as the "failed sordidness" about the cabaret setting).[7]
