On IMDb, the film holds a solid rating of around 7.5/10, indicating a favorable reception from viewers who appreciated its detailed archival approach. For instance, Cineuropa applauded the documentary for shedding light on an often underappreciated figure in European genre television, highlighting how the film "captures the eerie essence and cultural significance of Ibáñez Serrador’s work." However, some reviews noted that the documentary’s niche focus might resonate more with dedicated fans than general audiences. According to a review by Fotogramas, while the film is "an invaluable historical document," it occasionally "lacks a deeper psychological analysis of Ibáñez Serrador’s creative motivations," which could leave some viewers wanting a more personal portrait. Rotten Tomatoes does not list an official critic score for the documentary, reflecting its limited but focused release. Overall, the consensus is that this is a respectful and informative tribute that preserves the legacy of a seminal figure in horror and television history.
