The critic Fabien Lermercier of the Cineuropa portal highlighted that the film is "endowed with an eminently convincing cast", and that it "weaves a strange web where the invisible plays with hyperrealism while exploring themes such as truth, family and freedom". Jonathan Holland of Screendaily stated that the film "combines powerful atmospheric elements with suspense and classic tragedy in a haunting and disturbing tone, providing a fresh, sensitive and thoughtful perspective on the cinema of gang culture in Latin America."
