Entertainment Weekly praised the show's "powerhouse musical" and noted the "gunslinging sisters" take the stage by storm. Playbill and New York Theatre Guide also published reviews on the same day, highlighting the vocal performances and staging. However, The New York Times offered a more critical perspective, calling the show "a messy vigilante story" that "squanders its musical riches." The New York Stage Review similarly noted the production's ambitious scope but questioned its execution. Critics appear divided on whether the musical's central premise and action sequences translate effectively to the stage, with some emphasizing the technical achievements while others find the narrative unfocused.
