Tulio Carella said in Crítica: "A long story is told in Nubes de humo. The film is minor and poorly plotted. It does, however, offer a few moments of excitement and some not-too-old-fashioned jokes." Jorge Miguel Couselo opined in Correo de la Tarde that it was "another tawdry film". Raúl Manrupe and María Alejandra Portela in their book Un diccionario de films argentinos (1930–1995) wrote (translated from Spanish): "Crepuscular title of a kind of cinema which tends towards more pop (there's a scene with rock and roll music) and which repeats scenes in a framework of falsehood."[4]
