The film as described by BusinessWorld, "...[the film] drags on and on — some kilig dialogue, tearjerker moments, and inspiring soliloquies litter the narrative all until its very end." [9] According to PelikulaMania.com, the film was disappointing as it "touches [only] on certain issues like the unfair treatment of both the students and the teachers from people with authority, [but] lacks the substance in exploring the issues of why someone is taking his high school years as a senior citizen... The film is considered a box office bomb and is considered Gonzaga's lowest grossing film after The Exorsis" [10]
