Reception

Desirée de Fez of Fotogramas rated the film 4 out of 5 stars, writing that "the strong point of 'Blog' is its naturalness".[9]

Javier Ocaña of El País deemed Blog to be an "stimulating" debut film, being both an "exercise in style", "a paradigm of social cinema far removed from dogmatism, and a desolate display of the affective canons of Spanish upper-middle class adolescence".[10]
