The spunk of the young bucks from Houston entertains, and the slick telling is largely upbeat entertainment.

Newcity
The unacknowledged irony is that [Halt and Catch Fire] didn't really find its voice until it moved away from the Compaq story in its second season, but Silicon Cowboys tells the true story very well indeed.

SF Weekly
A fascinating account of maverick innovators during the Wild West era of personal computing.

Variety
The film, a fast-moving account of the start-up and rise of Compaq Computer, grounds itself in people as well as technology, and that makes the lessons especially engaging.
New York Times
Silicon Cowboys is a fun watch but it struggles to find conflict other than their battle with IBM (which Compaq more or less won) and the ouster of one executive (about which we could have learned a little bit more).

Austin American-Statesman
Cohen solicits commentary from a range of tech entrepreneurs and aficionados (including Chris Cantwell, creator of Halt and Catch Fire); their excitement is contagious, fueling a dramatic rise-and-fall business tale.
