Reception
Beatriz Martínez of Fotogramas highlighted the sense of "a voice with style and personality" behind the camera as the best thing about the film, otherwise hampered by "certain tendency to self-absorption and posturing".{{Cite web|website=Fotogramas|date=14 April 2018|first=Beatriz|last=Martínez|url=https://www.fotogramas.es/festival-de-malaga/a19463912/festival-malaga-ana-de-dia/|title='Ana de día': belle jour en Malasaña}}
Alberto Luchini of El Mundo rated the "haunting" debut film 2 out of 5 stars, assessing that it alternates hits (such as the protagonist's ambiguous character building) with misses (such as the "failed sordidness" about the cabaret setting).{{Cite web|url=https://www.elmundo.es/metropoli/cine/2018/11/08/5be2f4baca4741e61a8b45ed.html|website=Metrópoli|via=El Mundo|first=Alberto|last=Luchini|title=Ana de día: un paseo por el lado oscuro}}
