Reviews
Michael Wilmington wrote in the Chicago Tribune that the beginning of the film was "convincingly", but later the film had degenerated into a "melodramatic mush".
The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was an “emancipation drama whose songs reflect the protagonist's development process; too constructed and calculated to convince ”.
David Bergmann wrote on film releases that the film was "successful", which was mainly due to the portrayal of Jennifer Lopez. The issue of violence against women is "clumsy", and in places "tasteless".
