The film had great reactions from the Estonian audience at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF) 2025, where it premiered in the children's competition programme. The Second Diary of Pauline P. is showing that high quality children and European family films are very popular at the box office, and also with the festival audience", producer Jure Bušić told FNE.
