Reception

Reception for Cheyenne Rides Again was generally positive. Film historian Hal J. Wollstein wrote that: "The Katzman stamp of poverty is all over this Victory Pictures production, but it is fun to watch Tyler and Chaney, both of whom would later star as the mummy, Kharis, for Universal in the '40s."[2] TV Guide offered that while the film was not very good, Tom Tyler's character kept the film moving.[3]

Release

The film aired on television on January 9, 1965 as one of the many western films shared on The Wild Bill Elliott Show.[4] Alpha Video released Cheyenne Rides Again on DVD on April 27, 2010.[2]
