Claudia Puig's review in "USA Today" was largely positive, writing, "A Western with a contemporary sensibility and dialogue that sounds markedly modern, "A Million Ways to Die in the West" is quintessential MacFarlane, at once silly and witty, juvenile and clever." Stephen Holden's review in "The New York Times" was mainly neutral, calling the film "a live-action spinoff of "Family Guy", with different characters." "While the whole thing feels weirdly miscalculated to me, "A Million Ways to Die in the West" tweaks the formula just enough, delivers a few laughs and keeps the guest stars coming," wrote Salon columnist Andrew O'Hehir.
A Million Ways to Die in the West | Critical response
"A Million Ways to Die in the West" originated as an inside joke between MacFarlane and co-writers Sulkin and Wild, while they were watching "Hang 'Em High". The joke evolved into "riffing on the idea of how dull, depressing, and dangerous it must have been to live in the Wild West." MacFarlane, a lifelong fan of westerns, began researching the topic, using Jeff Guinn's nonfiction novel, "The Last Gunfight: The Real Story of the Shootout at the O.K. Corral—And How It Changed the American West" as an "invaluable resource," and basis for many of the ways of dying in the film.

Rafer Guzman of "Newsday" found the film amusing, calling it "another example of MacFarlane's ability to mix poop jokes with romance, foul language with sweet sentiment, offensive humor with boyish charm." Scott Mendelson of "Forbes" commended MacFarlane's decision to make an unconventional western comedy, but summarized the film as "just ambitious enough for that to be genuinely disappointing." Michael O'Sullivan at "The Washington Post" was mixed, deeming the film a "broad, wildly hit-or-miss satire," remarking that he found few of the jokes in the film funny. "Spiritually, it's closer to a mid-range crowd-pleaser such as "City Slickers" than "Blazing Saddles", too enamoured of genre convention to reach for the comic dynamite," wrote Mike McCahill at "The Guardian".
A Million Ways to Die in the West | Critical response
Various aspects of the film were inspired by western films. The decision to make Albert a sheepherder was inspired by "Montana" (1950) and his average, non-confrontational demeanor by "" (1957). Other westerns that inspired MacFarlane and the crew during writing included "Oklahoma!" (1955), "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (1962), and "El Dorado" (1966).

Pitchfork ranked the soundtrack at 15 on their "50 Best Movie Scores of All Time" list, saying that "Old Black is featured in its purest form on the soundtrack for Jim Jarmusch’s hallucinatory western Dead Man. Young’s low, ominous notes are inseparable from Robby Müller’s striking black-and-white cinematography, lending an elemental pull to the increasingly strange odyssey of William Blake (Johnny Depp) and Nobody (Gary Farmer), Blake’s sardonic Native American guide."

The original song conceived as the closing credits of the movie was "Frodo's Song" (which exists only in mock-up form), which became "Use Well the Days," written by Howard Shore. The song was Frodo singing to Sam as he left Middle Earth and includes Frodo’s lament in the middle of “The Grey Havens." Director Peter Jackson felt that the song wasn't a good fit as a concluding song for the series, so Shore began to try to write a different closing credits song. As he did, Cameron Duncan, a young Māori New Zealand filmmaker whose work had impressed Jackson and his team, was dying from cancer at 16-years old, and his imminent passing inspired film writer Fran Walsh, composer Howard Shore, and singer Annie Lennox to write "Into the West." The first public performance of the song was at Duncan's funeral.
