Reception

El Mundo notes that in the two segments, sex is as central a topic as hot sauce.^[4] Multiplatform Media in Mexico indeed noted that the title of the film was self-explanatory^[5], while Cinema of Solitude: A Critical Study of Mexican Film, 1967-1983 saw in it one of various films of Cardona Jr. based on the same narrative pattern.^[6] Contrapunto found the film was "a stupid comedy, very cheap under all aspects".^[7] MiTv found the two comedic segments "hilarious".^[8]
