United States | The New York Times | "A grand and glorious entertainment. Six or 60, the spectator is bound to be caught up in the magic of this thrilling quest for fabulous wealth." | POS |
United States | TV Guide | "Disney's first totally live-action movie, and it is, by far, the best film version of the familiar Stevenson story" | POS |
United States | IGN | "It's a very good adaptation of the original novel that maintains the core themes and characters while at the same time making it distinctly 'Disney'" | POS |
United States | Variety | "[It] has been handsomely mounted by Walt Disney. Settings are sumptuous and a British cast headed by American moppet Bobby Driscoll faithfully recaptures the bloodthirsty 18th-century era" | POS |
United States | New York Daily News | "Newton's eye-rolling Silver has been much impersonated but never equaled. Disney's first live-action feature was vividly shot in Technicolor by Freddie Young" | POS |
