An entertaining western. However, if you’re looking for something as grounded as the re-make of 3:10 to Yuma, you’ll be sadly disappointed. Alexander Case

Joe Kidd is without a doubt the most curious of the many westerns in which Clint Eastwood has starred; a film without a specific personality. That distinction doesn’t make it unworthy of one’s time or without cinematic merit, but the fusion of styles and themes keeps it at arm’s length. Jimmy Gillman

Entertaining but senseless. Dennis Schwartz
