Reception Alfonso Rivera of Cineuropa declared the series "an explosive party, a riotous blend of black humour as bitter as bile", otherwise finding connections to Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Desperate Housewives, Wild Tales, Kill Bill, Carrie, and Falling Down.
Tim Lowery of The AV Club stressed the series as a "very cinematic work", also lauding how Sabroso "smartly avoids" "broad strokes without ever watering down the mischief, fun, brightness, and excellently scored energy" making Rage worth watching.
Margaret Lyons of The New York Times wrote that "while the characters are motivated by pain, the show itself is bright and funny, colorful and surprising".
Álvaro Onieva of Fotogramas rated Rage 5 out of 5 stars, assessing that Sabroso delivers "a funny black comedy with good pacing, and very well executed from an aesthetical standpoint, but which does not lose sight of the depth of its characters and, with them, various neuroses common in our society".
