Preston Sturges plays his script [based on a story by Earl Felton] with frantic slapstick, stressing raw, bawdy comedy rather than genuine humor, to get the laughs.

Variety
A parody should surely be subtle with a fine humorous edge to it, but here we have nothing but exaggeration of a most obstreperous kind.

The Spectator
This musical western burlesque looks slightly better today, but its still more energetic than funny.

Not so much a lament for the end of the West but for the end of the 1940s
CinePassion
Rating: B- --
Shoots itself in the arse once too many times for its prolonged spoof to work smoothly.

Rating: 2/5 --
To paraphrase the theme song, it looks pretty well shot in the end.

Fast-moving and witty spoof of Western conventions from one of Hollywood's finest writer/directors of comedy.
