Reception

Critical reception

Claudia Llaca from Cine Premiere wrote: "Thanks to an impeccable script and excellent stage direction, Franco achieves the right rhythm so that the actors not only interact, but also give the best of their talent to the film... Third call is a well made film, with art, craft and intelligence. It is part of the Mexican cinema that is worth seeing and supporting."[10]
