Neither the script nor Budd Boetticher's direction asks much of the players.

Murphy who showed a decent talent for acting in the recent Red Badge of Courage is all the way back where he began in his latest performance.

Radio Times

Better known for his psychological westerns, Budd Boetticher handles this programme filler with intelligent efficiency, drawing a thoughtful performance from Murphy, with whom he would reunite for the star's swansong, A Time for Dying.

Rated: 3/5

Enjoyable enough western featuring everybody's favorite war hero Audie Murphy as Bill Doolin, a bit of creepy guy with a heart of gold and a penchant for robbing banks. A remake of the somewhat better Doolins Of Oklahoma, Murphy is good, perhaps missing a bit of raw edge this part needs, but who cares as he's a dreamboat.

Audie Murphy as outlaw Bill Doolin in a compact western... They Made Audie A Criminal--The Cimarron Kid is a tightly-made, action-packed, very entertaining Western of the Oklahoma outlaws sub-genre. It is well directed by Bud Boetticher, generally well acted, pleasingly scored, and beautifully filmed in three-strip Technicolor... A rip-roaring shoot-em-up with a great story line!!

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Glossy western notable for the unusual anti-hero storyline, although not notable for much else.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Mostly very good, but it derails a bit by the end as it stumbles for a semi-happy ending.
