Cara-Lynn Branch of ''Universal Cinema'' wrote: ''"Phantom Project'' is an example of modern queer cinema. Early on, you get the sense this is queer cinema made by a queer filmmaker."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Branch |first=Cara-Lynn |date=2022-02-12 |title=Rotterdam Film Festival 2022 {{!}} Phantom Project |url=https://universalcinema.ca/rotterdam-film-festival-2022-phantom-project/ |access-date=2023-03-29 |website=Universal Cinema |language=en-US}}</ref> Diego Brodersen of ''Página 12'' wrote: "At its best, ''Phantom Project'' depicts a character at a crossroads in life, when adulthood has no turning back and the possibilities for the future begin to dwindle. Ergo, the anguish, that meetings with friends and friends and the possibility of new boyfriends fail to appease. In other instances, the indie comedy tone approaches the land of the sitcom, although without completely losing the tenderness."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Brodersen |first=Diego |date=2022-04-24 |title=Competencia Oficial Internacional en el Bafici {{!}} Una película boliviana y una chilena en la programación |url=https://www.pagina12.com.ar/417348-competencia-oficial-internacional-en-el-bafici |access-date=2023-03-29 |website=PAGINA12 |language=es}}</ref>
