Beatriz Martínez of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, highlighting "a cohesive cast that avoids the theatrical heritage of the story" as the best thing about the film while negatively citing a "somewhat self-indulgent last segment".

Rubén Romero Santos of Cinemanía rated the film 1½ stars, deeming it to be an affected adaptation, writing that "the viewer gets lost in this Catalan bourgeois atmosphere condensed in the Casa Tarradellas and Estrella Damm commercials".

Javier Ocaña of El País assessed that even if the "well adjusted in its length and with notable performances" film "may feel [already] seen and heard, "the average level in all its sections is appreciable".
