Lancaster and Davis work particularly well together, ditto Savalas and Winters. There are talky periods of slow pace, but they are terminated before undue damage has been done.

While the individual incidents are familiar, they are played with gusto by Lancaster and Davis.
Renata Adler, New York Times

Some movies are masterpieces, and most movies are not, and sometimes you get a movie that can best be described as 'interesting.' By that I mean it falls short of excellence but nevertheless has something that makes it worth seeing.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

An amiable enough liberal comedy Western, with colour-coded cultural conflict worked through an ironic circular plot.
