The whole thing veers wildly in quality, and no Eastwood-hater should go within a mile of it; but few lovers of American cinema could fail to be moved by a venture conceived so recklessly against the spirit of its times.
Derek Adams, Time Out
Fresh
This is a sweet, whimsical, low-key movie, a movie that makes you feel good without pressing you too hard.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
The film comes across sympathetically but unconvincingly, as an attempt by a well-established movie tough guy to reveal his tender side.
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Fresh
It is a guileless tribute not only to plain values of plain people in Depression America, but also to the sweet spirit of country-and-western music before it got all duded up for the urban cowboys.
