Walsh was nominated for one Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie.[4] Christine Lahti was nominated "Best TV Supporting Actress" and Goldie Hawn, "Best TV Director" in the "1998 Lone Star Film & Television Awards".[5] And Michael D.

Ray Richmond from Variety magazine wrote: "First-time helmer Goldie Hawn embodies a surprising maturity and assurance directing this tearjerker set amid the early ’60s paranoia manufactured by the Cuban Missile Crisis and the growing restlessness of the Civil Rights Movement. Film is sensitively wrought, if sometimes simplistic and heavy-handed, with Hawn showing a firm grasp of the familial ties that bind — and blind."[1]
