Photoplay gave it a star and said:
As a Western to end all hoss operas, this rousing Technicolor film is a prize piece of production. Errol Flynn is the hero who has little time for love (even Olivia de Havillandโs) until the last killer has bitten Kansas dust. Bruce Cabot is a dyed-in-the-wool villain and Ann Sheridan gets past the Haysโ office as a cabaret girl. Entire cast deserves high praise.
