Adiós gringo was released in 1965.[3] On its domestic release in Italy, Adiós gringo was the fourth highest-grossing film of the year.[6] "Byro." commented on the audience reaction to the film at a 22nd street grind house screening in New York which was laughing at the film more than enjoying it.[6]
From contemporary reviews, "Byro." of Variety stated the film was the "perhaps the most implausible and contrived" of Italian Westerns.[6]
