Rotten
The screenplay is so predictable in situation and so arch in its supposedly tough, blunt, wise talk that it turns into a joke told by someone with no sense of humor.
Vincent Canby, New York Times

Siegel knows what he wants and gets it.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Eastwood's performance as the flawed, headstrong superman has been terribly underrated, but he brings to the part of Coogan a sure knowledge of the man's obvious strengths and not so obvious failings.
Don Druker, Chicago Reader

Story is of the clash between sophisticated law enforcement and frontier-style simplistics, which is perhaps one of the major internal American problems.
Variety

Even Siegel's somehow off-centre treatment of New York hippiedom is intriguingly wry.
