 The reviewer for "The New York Times" called the film a "soporific little Western" and a "pallid and static picturization", while praising the performances of James Warren and Richard Martin who "supply the few flickers of spirit and humor" in the film.The reviewer for "Variety" magazine was equally unimpressed with the film, noting that it "doesn't offer much for fans of Western action and virility".In his review for AllMovie, Bruce Eder wrote that the film had promise and some good performances, but that it lacked character development and "could have been a better movie if the makers had been allowed to deliver something longer than 67 minutes".
