Reception

Augusto Martínez Torres of El País found two flaws weighing down the film, namely an "excessive influence of the cartoon, with what this means of caricatured and simple" (with the film being a sort of Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner vying for a Romani girl), and mainly "the lack of humanity and the excessive manichaeism of the characters".[2]
