| New York TimesHoward ThompsonProbably the best-rounded and most appealing personalized film of this kind ever made. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThe racing sequences are fun to watch nut the family melodrama is rather dreary, despite the presence of Paul Newman and wife-actress Joanne Woodward. |
| The New RepublicStanley KauffmannWhat keeps the picture from tedium, besides its hard action, is Paul Newman's performance as the racer-hero. Newman simply seems incapable of making a false move or sound. |
| The SpectatorPenelope HoustonJames Goldstone's film is one of motels, concrete, the sour smell of petrol; homelier than the jet-set rich feeling which seems to overcome film-makers whenever they get on the starting-line. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertWell of course he wins the race and gets the girl. You know that to begin with when you go to a movie named Winning that stars Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward and is about the Indy 500. |
| User ReviewMarty DReally good documentary. Had no idea he even raced. |
