Lav Diaz of the Manila Standard praised the film's playful "mood" and neat editing which easily supplies hilarity, giving special praise to Rene Requiestas' naturally comedic performance as a bumbling villain. However, he criticized the treatment of Angela Luz and Beverly Vergel's characters as eye candy, along with the continuous belittling of little people. [1]
