It's not hard to view "The Ballad of Little Jo" as an allegorical critique of sex and power and men's-club values in America. In its disdain for those values, the film is as focused and cool-headed as the remarkable character whose story it tells.
New York Times
Ultimately, what makes "The Ballad of Little Jo" worthy is Amis' full-bodied performance in what may be her most challenging role to date. Always believable, Amis never makes a false move.
Variety
This is more skillful than inspired, with an image of the early west that seems largely borrowed from McCabe and Mrs. Miller.

Chicago Reader
Unitl its weirdly surreal ending, Little Jo proves a long, earnest, rather arid ride. Its life on screen here looks to be even shorter than that of Butterfly.

Hartford Courant
The mud and desperation of the frontier is vividly rendered, but the film is marred by a lack of emotional drama.

Time Out
Well-realized feminist parable about a daring and creative young woman's survival in the Old West.

Spirituality and Practice
The film ends as more of a dirge than a ballad. But occasionally it casts a forlorn spell. The meaning of Jo Monaghan's life may not really emerge in this film but its mystery lingers.
