Javier Ocaña of CinemanÃÂa rated the film 2ý of out 5 stars, lamenting that in the end the film, modelled after American screwball comedies from the 1930s and 1940s, "just feels like another lacklustre Spanish commercial comedy".
Elsa Fernández-Santos of El PaÃÂs assessed that the madcap comedy struggles to find its tone, singling out "the notion of unintended revenge" and the awakening of Mauleón's character as the best elements about the film.
Pablo Vázquez of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, pointing out that My Wife Is a Ghost is elegantly brought to screen by Ripoll but also lamenting that at some point that the film, "which never fails to entertain, loses its ability to subvert and unsettle".
