Reception

Bernard P. E Bentley deemed the film to be "a showcase for its large cast".[9] In the view of Jordi Costa [es], it is one of the Spanish cinema's great jewels to be discovered.[10] Joaquín de Luna considered the film to be a "little-known" instance of Hispanic costumbrismo featuring the "refreshing" intervention of Gracita Morales.[11] According to Jordi Batlle Caminal the film belongs to the "insubstantial" subset of films within Sáenz de Heredia's filmography.[12]
