Reception 
Jonathan Holland of Variety, deemed Doghead to be a "revitalizing, winsomely idiosyncratic" film, with the result of Amodeo's craft being "a visually striking, deceptively subtle item that revels in its unconventionality".

Javier Ocaña of El País, considered that the film possesses "a very special magic and a strange poetry", blending in "a modern visualization and a script between the profound and the candorous".
