Reception
In his book El actor de cine: arte, mito y realidad, when resuming Luis Aguilar's career, José Alberto Lezcano considered it among Aguilar's most famous works, describing it as one of his "comedies of manners and rural melodramas."{{cite book |last1=Lezcano |first1=José Alberto |title=El actor de cine: arte, mito y realidad |year=2009 |publisher=Editorial Instituto Cubano de Arte e Industria Cinematográficos |isbn=978-959-7139-94-2 |page=72 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rbU3AQAAIAAJ&q=%C2%A1Aqu%C3%AD+est%C3%A1n+Aguilares! |language=es}}
