Reviewing the first season's style, "Refinery29"'s Ariana Romero highlights the fantasy song coming-out moment set to "¿A quién le importa?" where "Julián writhes around on the dinner table, kicking his feet and eventually tearing his shirt off" as a moment that "[e]very single person deserves to see", saying that this charm makes it accessible to viewers who enjoyed American telenovela-style shows like "Jane the Virgin". Wheeler also complemented the style, though gave a mixed review. He suggested that the show does not live up to its comedic aspirations, but plays out the drama well, and that while the acting can be overly melodramatic, the use of color and artistic design enhance the show in a "perfect example" of such visual potential. He thought that the show may not become particularly memorable, but is overall entertaining. Pavel Gaona, for Vice, however, saw the colorful and musical selections as "stumbles"; in the rest of his review, Gaona wrote that everything from Caro's style and form, to the plotlines, to the casting and performance of actors were all "lacking" and "pretentious", with the exception of Cecilia Suárez and her character Paulina, whom he gave high praise. Though the character of Paulina has been particularly praised, some critics have mixed views on her idiosyncratic speech. Vinícius Nader of "Correio Braziliense" found that her speech is "very forced and [has an] artificial rhythm", while Betancourt called it "deliciously languid" and a positive starring feature of her character. Plumhoff wrote that Suárez "shines" as Paulina and commended her voice for "[making] her one-liners […] feel like TED talks." Plumhoff opined that the characters were the best part of the show, though felt it was let down by discarding the interracial relationship; Esther Vargas criticized some characters in her review, noting that Aislinn Derbez's performance was particularly forgettable, but praised the performance of Luis de la Rosa as Bruno, saying that "in his discreet performance, the silences and looks of this talented young actor open several readings", noting that Bruno is not affected by his queer parents, a commentary on how "this hyperconnected generation knows no closets". The first season received several nominations and three awards. At the 2019 Platino Awards, Cecilia Suárez won the Best Actress award in the television category, while the show was nominated in the Best Miniseries or Television Series category.
