Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Begley and Stevens add tone to the cast, and Hingle comes over like an especially earnest Karl Malden. The moral of the story is vaguely against capital punishment, and there's a lot of that thin, windblown guitar twanging for you thin, wind-blown guitar twanging fans.

Time Out - Unnamed
More interesting as a way station in Eastwood's career than for anything intrinsic to its lawman/vigilante scenario, this was his first American Western after the spaghettis.
50
Variety - Unnamed
Hang 'em High comes across as a poor-made imitation of a poor Italian-made imitation of an American western.
50
TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
Though the material is nothing special and relies on the avenging angel mystique that had been established for Eastwood in the Leone films, director Post squeezes out some fine and memorable moments in the film
