Reception

Jonathan Holland of Variety deemed the film to be "an above-average if over-derivative Spanish laffer" which "has fun written all over it and contains more than its share of astute observational comedy, but too often mistakes laffs for the merely absurd".

Irene Crespo of Cinemanía rated the film 2½ out of 5 stars, comparing it to a mix of Love Actually and Escenas de matrimonio, considering that the hook consisting of the extended cast full of known faces "gets lost along the way and soon [the film] falls into cliché, clumsy and predictable love situations".
