Reception

edit

Enid Román Almansa of Cinemanía rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, writing that "funny and with tender moments, it achieves what it sets out to do".[6]

Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas gave Cuerpo escombro 45 points ('bad') considering that it would have done the film a lot of good to embrace black comedy rather than diving into a romantic comedy full of platitudes and genre clichés.[2]

Pablo Vázquez of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, citing the Rovira/Sevilla duo and the "queen" Hervás as the best thing about the film, while mentioning the "dumb" work-related subplot as the film's worst.[7]
