Critics' reviews
- "One of the most appealing, beautifully made and well-loved of all the classic children's animal movies"
- "This film is a fairly well-balanced effort, and if you're in the mood for an evening of obvious sentiment, this boy-and-his-dog film works quite well."
- "The slightly older set will be hard-pressed to watch Lassie Come Home without a great big lump in the throat."
- "From the novel of Eric Knight, and with Fred M. Wilcox directing his first feature picture, Lassie emerges as nice entertainment enhanced by color photography and good scenic shots."
