Reception
A contemporary Corriere della Sera review described the film as conventional, as it "goes through all the obligatory stages of the Italian western, without any truly original ideas".[4] Thomas Weisser noted that Gentleman Jo is "the kind of role Anthony Steffen was born to play; he doesn't have to say much, he just squints and shoots".[1]
