Reception[]
Clarín reviewed the director: "Rubén Cavallotti is steadfast as a narrator".[1]: 257
La Razón wrote, "Narration without major aspirations. He transplants pieces of reality onto the screen, but much of what is seen is not new in our cinema".[1]: 257
A Variety review summarized it as a "yarn concerns a light hearted youth in poor circumstances whose fortune improves". The review noted the film's occasional humor, said that Walter Vidarte was miscast as Gringalet, and called the film "an artificial production".[2]
