www.digitallyobsessed.com - : Trying to add treacherous turbaned villains, such as the leering Kurr (Allen Goorwitz), does little but turn The Black Stallion Returns into what amounts to a stock yarn that is desperately low on adventure.

rogerebert.suntimes.com - : What's good in this film? The performances are often good, including Reno's; he has an interesting, poker-faced way of underplaying scenes that keeps him from being a stereotyped kid. The photography is good, and the desert is often breathtakingly beautiful. The final race is botched by so many parallel story lines that we lose track of where the stallion stands in the race. And the movie is sometimes so overcome by its own beauty that it forgets to be about anything. more...
