Carlos Aguilar writing for the Los Angeles Times gave the film a bad review, stating: "'Boi', from first-time Spanish writer-director Jorge M. Fontana, aims to examine an individual with unfulfilled artistic aspirations wrapped in a cryptic thriller; however, its stylish features overpower its many attempts at philosophical depth."[4] Helen T. Verongos from the New York Times also disliked the movie, writing: "The tantalizing clues, occasional laughs, and lapses, in reality, are not enough to hold this film together."[5]
