"Gunpowder Girl and the Outlaw Squaw has 'labor of love' written all over it, and it's always fun to read projects like this.
— Melchior del Darién @ Mortlake on the Schuylkill "Don Hudson has created depths in Gunpowder Girl and the Outlaw Squaw achieved in few Westerns."
— Lance Victor Eaton @ Bookloons "A downright rootin' tootin', polecat shootin', rip-roarin'-good piece of sequential storytellin'!"
— Mark Allen @ Suspended Animation "As an artist, Hudson is at the top of his form. And considering that he's a guy with two decades of seriously good comics and related work under his belt, that really says a lot about the high quality of his story telling and draftsmanship in this book."
— Bill Baker @ Gutterslut "Starts off playing on both Western and gender stereotypes, and then quickly turns it on its head. A genuinely entertaining tale and one heck of a Western." (4 out of 5 stars)
— Adam White @ ComicCritique.com "A different sort of western that knows how to have fun. Female outlaws — an orphan girl with no home and an Indian woman who refuses to live on a reservation — cut a swath through Texas in the late 1800s."
— Steven Grant @ Comic Book Resources "A rollicking western by Forever Amber's Don Hudson; an artist who follows Neal Adams' footsteps with a little Ernie Colon back treading. The heroes and villains of the piece aren't quite so easily shelved in the white hat/black hat section of the general store. Normally shades of gray characters make me ill and only seem pretentious, but Hudson's view is historically accurate, and the characterization is so strong that you find yourself wanting more of the adventure."
— Ray Tate @ SilverBulletComicBooks.com "Terrific gunfight choreography."
— Randy Lander @ TheFourthRail.com "Moves, guts and raw emotion."
