Panfletonegro gave it an extremely critical review, describing the film as having poor aesthetics, calling the in-utero shots "particularly irritating and repulsive." The reviewer criticizes the film for being literal, heavy-handed, and having a conservative anti-abortion message. Describes it as "anticine" (anti-cinema) that underestimates its audience.
In an interview, actress Gabriela Vergara discusses her role and the film's approach to abortion, stating the film aims to show both pros and cons of abortion without taking a definitive position.
FULLTV stated "Good, fulfills its objective of entertaining. The plot is interesting and the characters stand out."
