Los Angeles Times
An amiable 1973 John Wayne movie, typical of his later Westerns. [09 Oct 1988, p.4] - 50
The New York Times
Cahill, United States Marshal was directed by Andrew V. McLaglen and written by Harry Julian Fink and Rita M. Fink. Perhaps recognizing the new limitations of their star, they spend a good deal of time trying to turn a conventional Western into a children-in-peril movie. - 40
TV Guide Magazine
The moral message gets a bit too preachy at times, and the performances are somewhat wooden.
