Reception

Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas scored out of 45 out of 100 points ("bad"), considering that the sequel "repeats all the problems of the first film", but with the aggravating factor that it has nothing to tell, only rebounding a little with the "extremely powerful" comic flair of Loles León.

Fausto Fernández of Fotogramas rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, deeming it to be a superior sequel, highlighting Loles León's performance, which the reviewer found reminiscent of Ethel Merman's in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.

Andrea G. Bermejo of Cinemanía rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, finding the sequel to be less fun than the first film, even if Loles León's comic flair is all over the place.
