Los Angeles TimesJames M. Silver
This film, deftly directed by Mark Rydell (Cinderella Liberty, The Rose, On Golden Pond), is a celebration of simpler times and gentler hearts. It is an absolute joy to watch. [24 Sep 1992, p.12]

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
The Reivers is a pleasant, wholesome, straightforward movie of the sort (as they say) they don't make anymore. Read full review

The New York TimesHoward Thompson
Mark Rydell's direction conveys a zestful spirit, as do the film's turn-of-the-century look and picaresque minor characters. Read full review

VarietyStaff (Not Credited)
The Reivers is a nice bawdy film, sort of Walt Disney with an adult rating. Read full review

The New YorkerPauline Kael
Nostalgic, affectionate Southern Americana out of Faulkner; the style is a little too "beguiling" but it's an awfully pleasant comedy anyway.
