Directorially, production is John Ford in peak form, sustaining interest and suspense throughout, and presenting exceptional characterizations. Picture is a display of photographic grandeur.

Seen today, Stagecoach may not seem very original. That's because it influenced countless later movies in which a mixed bag of characters are thrown together by chance and forced to survive an ordeal.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

John Ford has swept aside ten years of artifice and talkie compromise and has made a motion picture that sings a song of camera.
Frank S. Nugent, New York Times

Impossible to overstate the influence of Ford's magnificent film, generally considered to be the first modern Western.
