Reception
Avi Offer of NYC Movie Guru gave the film a positive feedback and wrote, "Sweet, funny and tender with just the right balance of humor and heart." The film was rated B+ by Lupe Rodriguez Haas of CineMovie.tv and she said "The comedy is a wholesome good time for the entire family, especially for your abuelitas. The swapping lives plot has been done to death but this one brings a few twists and lots of charm."
Sandie Angulo Chen from Common Sense Media gave the film a rating of 4 out of 5 and she wrote "Although the swapped-bodies storyline has been done dozens of times across the decades, this addition manages to avoid complete predictability, especially once it seems like Maria is in no rush to "return" to her older body."
