Reception

Italian critic Davide Pulici considered the film as very ordinary in terms of story, but praised its flashback structure, deemed as very original for the time. Marco Giusti called the film 'very confusing'. Paolo Mereghetti described it as a very predictable revenge story, with 'interminable horseback-riding scenes and mild bursts of Grand Guignol'.
