“[The Naked Spur] is one of the best westerns ever made.” – Leonard Maltin
“[The Naked Spur] is as refreshingly tough and taut as they come. It is economical with words, generous in deeds, both dastardly and noble, andswiftly paced in settings that are superb and seemingly just created for Technicolor.” – The New York Times
