Miguel Ángel Romero of Cinemanía rated the film 3½ out of 5 stars, deeming it to be an "intimate, low-budget work" [...] "that demonstrates how well a story can work with very few elements".[9]
Jesús Palacios of Fotogramas rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, highlighting the acting duel between Peretti and Coronado as the best thing about the film.[10]
Manuel J. Lombardo of Diario de Sevilla gave the film 3 stars, writing that the murder mystery film has the foundations of "a screenplay as cheating as it is effective, and one of those high level acting duels, later turned into a triangle".[11]
