Reception

Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 57% of seven surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating was 4.5/10.[4] Metacritic rated it 44/100 based on five reviews.[5] Joe Leydon of Variety called it an "emotionally satisfying tale about a young man in need of a mentor and an older fellow in search of forgiveness."[6] Duane Byrge of The Hollywood Reporter called it a "battling-buddy road movie [that] carries viewers on an entertaining ride into blues country."[7] Kimberley Jones of the Austin Chronicle rated it 1/5 stars and called it a mawkish melodrama sunk by Simpson's poor acting.[8]
