Reception
{{ill|Jordi Costa|es}} of El País lamented that "the accumulation of supposedly sardonic lines" hints at "the mannerist effort of a writing team more concerned with effect than with the naturalness of the whole".{{Cite web|url=https://elpais.com/cultura/2019/03/27/actualidad/1553704652_760765.html|website=El País|date=29 March 2019|first=Jordi|last=Costa|title=Nostalgia de la ‘screwball comedy’}}
{{ill|Juan Pando (film critic)|es|Juan Pando Marcos|lt=Juan Pando}} of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, writing that "with some hiccups in its rhythm, [it] achieves, as it progresses, a balance between comedy and emotion".{{Cite web|website=Fotogramas|date=26 March 2019|first=Juan|last=Pando|url=https://www.fotogramas.es/peliculas-criticas/a26946023/que-te-juegas-critica-pelicula/|title=¿Qué te juegas?}}
Sergio F. Pinilla of Cinemanía described the film as a "bold and not entirely effective screwball comedy".{{Cite web|website=Cinemanía|via=20minutos.es|first=Sergio F.|last=Pinilla|url=https://www.20minutos.es/cinemania/criticas/que-te-juegas-125404/|title=¿Qué te juegas?|date=27 March 2019}}
Eulàlia Iglesias of El Confidencial celebrated that the game of seduction between two women was part of the romantic conflict while pointed out that the portrayal of the wealthy protagonists was not mean enough.{{Cite web|website=El Confidencial|first=Eulàlia|last=Iglesias|url=https://www.elconfidencial.com/cultura/cine/2019-03-29/que-te-juegas-ines-de-leon-leticia-dolera_1910166/|title='¿Qué te juegas?': Leticia Dolera, contra los pijos millonarios|date=29 March 2023}}
Alfonso Rivera of Cineuropa lamented that "the plot holds few surprises and takes some narrative shortcuts that stretch the suspension of disbelief a little too far".{{Cite web|website=Cineuropa|first=Alfonso|last=Rivera|date=26 March 2019|title=Review: Get Her...
