Reception

La Razón commented: "The classic and conventional entanglement between students and teachers that is used every time the subject of a school is comically dealt with on the screen." Noticias Gráficas said: "Everything that is reflected on the screen is at the margin of the least demanding common sense." Raúl Manrupe and María Alejandra Portela in their book Un diccionario de films argentinos (1930–1995) wrote (translated from Spanish): "Blockbuster and simplistic, to take advantage of the moment of greatest popularity of the leading couple. The scene of the football match is copied from an identical scene in Avivato ".[4]
