Reception

Toni Vall of Cinemanía rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, considering that, featuring an interesting detective premise about human trafficking, it is "effective almost all the time, extraordinarily filmed", yet also "suffers at times from a certain precipitation" and a lack of plausibility.[4]

Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas rated the film 57 out of 100 points ("so-so") highlighting the beginning, the performance by Echegui and the cameo by Eguileor as the best things about the film, which stars to fall apart upon the exploration of the luxury prostitution network due to "its lack of congruence".[8]

Manuel J. Lombardo of Diario de Sevilla rated the film 2 out of 5 stars, considering that it features one of those genre scripts in which there is "hardly anything authentic left to scratch" behind its "carcass of stereotypes, [common] themes and commonplaces".[6]
