Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Alan Ladd inherits William S. Hart's splits in Whispering Smith for wild and woolly stint typical of hoss oprys of the good old days.

Variety
As a rootin', tootin' Western, this formula-made Whispering Smith is good make-believe entertainment for those who will take it as such.

New York Times
It is all frightfully sad, but not, somehow, frightfully important, and though the tall hills of Wyoming give a certain pleasure to the eye, the ear is profoundly wounded by the banal dialogue.

The Spectator
Rating: 3/5 --
The film is briskly handled by journeyman director Leslie Fenton, who brings the story to a rousing, shooting tooting climax.

Radio Times
When one sees such conscientious technical work implementing a thoughtful production and thoroughly fine performances one is made vividly aware of how fine a simple entertainment picture can be.

Film legend Alan Ladd heads up a superior cast in this riveting, heart-pounding tale of crime and punishment. Luke "Whispering" Smith (Ladd) is a by-the-book, no-nonsense railroad detective who learns his friend, Murray Sinclair (Robert Preston), has been fired from his railroad job. Seeking vengeance, Sinclair begins helping outlaw Barney Rebstock (Donalp Crisp) wreck trains. Now, Smith must find and bring his old friend to justice...at any cost, in this suspenseful adventure filled with pistol-packing action.

Luke "Whispering" Smith (Alan Ladd) becomes entangled in a choice between his duty as a railroad detective and his loyalty to his friend Murray Sinclair (Robert Preston), when Murray, who lost his job with the railroad, begins to sabotage trains!
