Angela Dawson of Forbes gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Spanish Filmmaker Luis Prieto Balances Income Inequality And Chills In ‘Shattered’ Thriller." Michael Nordine of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote, "What follows has shades of everything from Misery to Audition, albeit with little of either film’s bawdy bravura." Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com awarded the film one and a half stars, calling it "a machine that promises to fulfill certain functions. Unfortunately, the craftsmanship is lacking."
