Marta Medina of El Confidencial deemed the film to be "a gentle comedy with a touch of drama and emotion" delivering the audience "an hour and a half  of endearing entertainment with little more pretension than to entertain and move". Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas rated the film 67 out of 100 points ("acceptable"), highlighting the lead duo featuring awesome chemistry, considering that, barring a couple of tonally misplaced gags that are not funny at all, the film meets its purpose, otherwise also featuring a good closure. Pablo Vázquez of Fotogramas rated it 3 out of 5 stars, considering the balance achieved between laughter and disenchantment to be commendable, highlighting the lead duo of Elejalde and Auquer as the best thing about the film, whilst citing as flaws elements such as the dull love subplot and the limited play gotten out of the supporting cast. Andrea G. Bermejo of Cinemanía rated it 3 out of 5 stars, deeming Auquer and Elejalde to be the "main dish" of the 'feel-good' movie. Manuel J. Lombardo of Diario de Sevilla rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, assessing the film to be an oedipal situational comedy with the haute cuisine as a parodical backdrop and an estupendous Karra Elejalde as the main show.
