In "Cantinflas and the Chaos of Mexican Modernity", Professor Jeffrey M. Pilcher stated that the film was the second time where Cantiflas "denounced the local counterculture" by showing his character "in a nightclub filled with drugged-out beats" (after "El señor doctor"), stating in regards of the scene where his character berates a group of hippies in jail that "in berating the "jipitecas" for smoking dope instead of working, Moreno reversed the roles of his early movie, "Ahí está el detalle", conceding to them the carefree younthful spirit of Cantinflas while he became the stodgy establishment figure played by Joaquín Pardavé [in "Ahí está el detalle"]."
