Chicago Reader -
A marvelous sense of detail and spectacular effects--good fun all the way.

|
Premiere -
At its most simplified, Sucker punches its way to the top of the Italian-western mountains, but never reaches the peak of its immortalized trilogy brethren.

|
The New York Times -
The resultant mix of dreaminess, violence and politics is a bit unwieldy, but it sticks to your ribs. You'll savor pieces of Duck, You Sucker in your head much later: the mark of a work by a true voluptuary, the overspill in whose craft comes as much from enthusiasm as arrogance.

Village Voice -
As ambitious as it is anachronistic, Duck, You Sucker demands to be read through the prism of World War II as well as 1968. Could this be the last movie in the great Italian tradition that began in 1945?

TV Guide Magazine -
Well-plotted action, but as in most of Leone's films scenes seem to have been deleted from the American prints.
