Critical response Lav Diaz, writing for the Manila Standard, gave the film a mixed review. He considered it the most exceptional film at the CPFMPP for its subject matter of show business, as it offers a different type of story from the other nine entries of the festival. However, he criticized its substandard scenes, dialogue, and "irritating" acting for hampering the film's quality, but expressed that Cherie Gil's performance was "okay".
