critic matt zoller seitz admired the film, with high praise especially given to the "buster scruggs" vignette, stating that it "captures the contradictions of american mythology better than any full-length revisionist western i've seen. joyous, optimistic, confident fable-making, in service of machismo and homicide." seitz added that "buster is also (incidentally) us military policy, seeking out and often escalating threats in order to demonstrate his awesome killing prowess, then retroactively justifying it, even singing his own songs of glory and goodness."
