Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/4 --
A good but disturbing psychological western, well directed by Penn and acted in a strangely fascinating style by Newman.

TV Guide
Rating: B+ --
Boasting a strong turn by Paul Newman as Billy the Kid, this disturbingly psychological, technically innovative deconstructive Western marks the impressive debut of Arthur Penn (Bonnie and Clyde), signaling the beginning of the New American Cinema.

EmanuelLevy.Com
Paul Newman portrays the cow-country Rebel Without a Cause, Billy the Kid, in a western which is crammed with slambang action. Its characters, however, remain shadowy to the end.

Maclean's Magazine
A close, inspired study of Ford and Nicholas Ray, and a decisive source of inspiration to Peckinpah, Malick, and Penn himself, who looked at it again and saw Bonnie and Clyde.

CinePassion
Penn's first film, it is in many ways a key stage in the development of the Western.
Time Out
The character has rarely been portrayed as well as he is by Newman.

Saddled with a pretentious and senseless screenplay about Billy the Kid, this lame oater drags all parties down with it.
