Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas gave the film 75 points, describing it as a "good period portrait that uses humour to highlight uncomfortable realities".
Jose Madrid of El Confidencial rated the series 3½ out of 5 stars, deeming the "efficient" miniseries to be "a farce performed by a trio of losers that taps into something deeply Spanish".
