Reception

Juan Pando of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, singling out the chemistry between León and Alterio as the best thing about the buddy movie.[10]

Irene Crespo of Cinemanía rated Co-Husbands 3 out of 5 stars, concluding that it is not just another Spanish family comedy film.[11]

Javier Ocaña of El País negatively pointed out two flaws around Paco León's character, namely, León being a better fit for Alterio's [chaotic] character and León's coming-and-going Catalan accent [in Spanish], otherwise assessing that Alemany gets it right by managing to direct a popular comedy without [recurring to too much] broad brush.[12]

Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas rated the film with 55 points ('so-so'), deeming it to be an uneven and tonally inconsistent comedy, otherwise highlighting Cimas' character and the musical score among its positive elements.[3]
