In The Hollywood Reporter, Frank Scheck wrote:<blockquote>Hemsworth, forgoing the long locks and mustache normally associated with his real-life character, invests his portrayal with doses of entertaining humor. He receives solid support from the veteran cast: Kristofferson exudes effortless gravitas; Adkins, whoâÂÂs made acting in Westerns a steady side gig from his country music career, uses his endlessly deep voice to effectively menacing effect; and Dern (whoâÂÂs apparently been unable to achieve significant career momentum from his Oscar-nominated turn in Nebraska) amusingly provides the effect of a modern-day Walter Brennan.</blockquote>
