The series is praised for its high production value, being one of the most expensive Greek productions to date. It is noted for its "stunningly accurate" portrayal of historical events and its attempt to provide a balanced view of the various nationalities (Greeks, Turks, Jews, and Armenians) living in Smyrna.
Critics describe the work as "cruel and touching," effectively capturing the "family pain" and the trauma of the Asia Minor Catastrophe.
