Overall, the reception of the movie was positive. In an original review published in 1947, The New York Times Bosley Crowther enthused that a generous assortment of rich and pungent Irish characters contributes not only to the action but to the spirit, humor and charm of the filmwith the added virtues of beautiful vistas across the Irish countryside Launder have given us a picture which should thrill, amuseand counsel well. Screenonline described Captain Boycott as expertly constructed, wittily scripted, impeccably cast and enormously entertaining. IMDb gave the movie a 6.610 rating. Filmreviews however, while describing the movie as by turns enlightening and inspiring felt that it had missed the point somewhat, and that its characters are a little too quaint and good to convincewhile the script remains curiously unfocused.
