Reviewing for Fotogramas, Blai Morell gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, highlighting the "virtuosity" of its mise-en-scène and the musical compositions by Víctor Reyes, while noting that there was some performer who was not up to the task.^[13]

Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas gave the film 80 out of 100 points, deeming it to be a cinema masterclass by Cortés, "thrilling and captivating" in terms of both the mise-en-scène and its honesty, praising the production design and the actors' direction, while noting that there were some repetitive moments and some over-abuse of the musical score.^[14]

Oti Rodríguez Marchante of ABC gave it a positive review with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.^[3]

Reviewing for El Periódico de Catalunya, Beatriz Martínez rated the film with 4 out of 5 stars, considering that, in this film, Cortés' virtuosity was put at the service of something more than a mere stylistic exercise.^[15]

Jonathan Holland of ScreenDaily considered the result of the juxtaposition of a musical comedy stage performance and the desperate offstage lives of the fictional cast to be "a fine technical achievement, a moving enquiry into what young love can mean under such conditions, and Cortés' strongest film since 2010's Buried", also deeming it to be, from a technical point of view, "a tour-de-force in several ways".^[16]
