Luke Y. Thompson of Forbes gave the film a positive review and wrote, "More of an absurdist comedy than an uproarious one, this mostly works because McDorman and Starr play things completely seriously."[1]
Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review and wrote, "this satirical, modern-day Western induces a few mild chuckles but mostly wastes the talents of its cast."[4]
