- 100The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyThe Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyAlternately haunting, inspiring and dreamily meditative, this is a visually majestic film of transfixing moods and textures.
- 100Entertainment WeeklyMelissa MaerzEntertainment WeeklyMelissa MaerzWhat's on screen will leave you in a state of wonder. The sweeping cinematography surveys the cracked earth and Davidson's chapped skin with equal intensity, as if to remind us how vulnerable we puny mortals are.
- 90VarietyJustin ChangVarietyJustin ChangAnchored by a fine and flinty performance from Mia Wasikowska, director John Curran’s gorgeously rendered adventure saga succeeds not only in capturing the harshness and wild beauty of Davidson’s journey, but also in mapping a delicate interior pathway into the heart of this most atypical explorer.
- 80The TelegraphRobbie CollinThe TelegraphRobbie CollinThis is a simple and beautiful journey undertaken purely for its own sake, and approached in that spirit, Tracks will lead you to a place of quiet wonder.

- 75The PlaylistOliver LytteltonThe PlaylistOliver LytteltonThe film’s undoubtedly a gorgeous look at the Australian outback, but those looking for deeper nourishment will be left a touch disappointed.
