Variety

Costner's directing style is fresh and assured. A sense of surprise and humor accompany Dunbar's adventures at every turn, twisting the narrative gently this way and that and making the journey a real pleasure. Full Review

TV Guide

A western for people who are completely ignorant about the genre. Costner's direction is barely competent and frequently clumsy. Full Review
