The film received mixed reviews. Sandie Angelo Chen of Common Sense Media wrote, "despite the filmmakers' overtly anti-activist agenda, this drama is well acted and has a couple of surprisingly empowering messages,"^[7] and Brian Orndorf of Blu-ray.com called it "unusual", writing "Running Wild isn’t sharp entertainment, but it’s surprisingly convincing, carried along by accomplished performances, a cozy rural atmosphere, and a deep concern for the plight of the American horse."^[8] However, Gary W. Goldstein wrote in the Los Angeles Times that the film "takes a largely simplistic, heavy-handed approach to a potentially deep and vital story," with "shoddy storytelling" overwhelming a strong performance by Sharon Stone.^[9]
