Reception
Critical reception
Irving Torres Yllán from CineNT wrote: "Tell Me About Yourself has in its favor that what it relates feels genuine, not forced, that it opens the debate to what society wants and what people want, that it shows that in the middle of the 21st century there are situations that do not change, that there are many others that have changed, that it tells a story with a surprising rhythm and that shows us what the new voices of national cinema can create." Etto Santana from MTY 360 wrote: "It is a fresh work, unpretentious, with good camera angles and sequences, copying a bit the musical scenes of Hollywood movies, as well as locations abroad most of the time, it is worth noting the soundtrack of the film."
