Jonathan Holland of The Hollywood Reporter stressed as a bottom line that "Juana Acosta is the heart and soul of this rangy but only occasionally powerful revenge yarn".[4]

Sergio F. Pinilla of Cinemanía rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, writing that the film is split "in two unequal blocks, [respectively] starring the solvent Juana Acosta and a blurred Carmelo Gómez".[8]

Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas highlighted Juana Acosta as the best thing about the film.[1]
