Jason Tan Liwag of Little White Lies called the film a "landmark of intersex representation in Philippine cinema."[2]
Brian Bromberger of Bay Area Reporter wrote that while the film "can be a bit preachy", it "courageously integrates a faithful understanding embrace of intersex that applies to all queer people." Bromberger also praised Azeron's performance, writing that he is "able to convey both vulnerability and fearlessness."[3]
Julia Allende of PEP.ph wrote that while the film "feels a little bit rushed", it "deals with an otherwise uncomfortable phenomenon in a light-handed and humorous manner, reflecting the mindset of a teenage boy at a crossroads", and "does not shy away from the rude portrayal of sexual awakening, fully embracing its awkwardness and messiness."[1]
Randy Myers of The Mercury News called it a "powerful film that is just a tad too neat in its resolution."[4]
