Entertainment Weekly -
On paper, the movie sounds unbearably schlocky, but Costner plays Garret the reluctant backcountry prince as mythic but also foxy and life size.

USA Today -
At least this movie has flashes of humor, thought nearly all come courtesy of Newman. [12 February 1999, Life, p.8E]

Chicago Sun-Times -
The climactic events are shameless, contrived, and wildly out of tune with the rest of the story. To saddle Costner, Penn and Newman with such goofy melodrama is like hiring Fred Astaire and strapping a tractor on his back.

Christian Science Monitor -
The story is so sentimental that even soap-opera buffs may feel it outwears its welcome.

San Francisco Examiner -
A movie that barely lives.
