Reviewers from platforms like Anika Entre Libros and Casa del Libro highlight several strengths and weaknesses:

: Balenciaga’s innate gift for sewing and his rise through the exclusive world of high fashion, aided by his mentor, the Marquesa de Casa Torres .

: A vivid portrayal of a lost era of elegance, glamour, and the social shifts of the early 1900s. Critical Review

: Readers note that Montes infuses the story with personal passion and sensitivity, focusing on Balenciaga’s human side rather than just his professional achievements.

: Some critics found the historical setting and atmosphere slightly lacking in detail, suggesting the narrative can feel a bit "floja" (weak) compared to the complex real-life figure of Balenciaga. Recommendation
