John Townsend of Starburst rated the film 5 stars out of 10 and wrote that at the film's "occasional best", it is an "eye-catching one man show", but at its worst feels "plodding and slow, with curious tonal shifts".[1]
Bill Goodykoontz of The Arizona Republic rated the film 2.5 stars out of 5 and called Mills' direction "assured" and the film's "high point", writing that he "stages scenes with skill", while Sizemore is "all over the place as Durant".[2]
Robrt L. Pela of Phoenix New Times wrote that the film "plays like a frenetic fever dream, with a rambling narrative that never gets going", but praised Sizemore's performance, writing that "What might have been a laughable caricature becomes instead an extra-human performance."[3]
