Reception

The New York Times reviewed the film, writing that "Advertised as an unvarnished story of race prejudice and discrimination among teen-agers, "This Rebel Breed" substitutes action for insight but maintains enough excitement to place it a cut or two above the usual sensationalized products of the genre."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> TV Guide gave This Rebel Breed one star, stating that it "takes a disturbingly naive approach to its subject matter: pushers peddle their wares to six-year-olds, and Damon is obviously wearing makeup so the audience will know he is part black."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> AllMovie was similarly critical.<ref name=":0" />

James V. D'arc has noted that the film was panned by Variety upon its initial release for what they saw as explicit scenes of violence and racism.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
