	Author	Review
United States	Walter Goodman The New York Times	"Most of the characters on the screen come off as sketches (...) 'Lonesome Dove' has enough action to keep us watching even if we are not caught up in its unrequited-love elements."	NEU
United Kingdom	David Hughes Empire	"Amazing cast (...) It’s an enjoyable six-hour yarn (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Robert Rorke New York Post	"It had the landscape, characters and enough poetry to sweep you into the story"	POS
United States	Chicago Tribune	"Majesterial (...) It took a fascinatingly complex bunch of characters and ran them through a stunning series of events. It was true and tragic. Violence coexisted with virtue; lust with sweetness; savagery with beauty."	POS
United States	Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"This was not only a first-rate made-for-television movie (a rarity) but also a remarkably old-fashioned new Western (a miracle)"	POS
