Writing for The Village Voice, J. Hoberman praised the film; "The Magic Gloves is a city symphony in which the metropolis seems an illusory maze and the melody is based on a refrain of recurring riffs."[2] Dan Sallitt writing in Senses of Cinema wrote that "The Magic Gloves pushes the deadpan style of Spanish comedy so far that the abstraction comes out the other end."[1]
