Philip Cu Unjieng of Manila Bulletin gave the film a positive feedback and wrote; 100 Awit Para Kay Stella is a film with no neat resolution, reminding us that, as so often in real life, there are no neat endings. But it leaves us with hope, and the chance for renewal. Let’s see if it’ll become a trilogy. [16]
