Reception An Italian contemporary review states that this is "a mediocre film, based upon characters, situations and developments more than predictable." A retrospective review on the Spaghetti Western Database finds the film "lame" and states that "As so often" (with Spaghetti Western films) the music (here composed by Piero Umiliani) "is the best part to remember."
