Reception

King opined in ''El Mundo'': "Good realization in an emotional film. Clear in its exposition, with abundant comic notes at the beginning that later disappear to give way to the successful dramatic climate that the solution of the conflict demands". Raúl Manrupe and María Alejandra Portela in their book ''Un diccionario de films argentinos (1930–1995)'' wrote (translated from Spanish): "Loose triangle story, with the frame of a sport at the time of great popularity and trying to reedit the success of Pelota de trapo. The opening sequence with children is perfect."
