Reception
Vincent Canby of The New York Times was not impressed: "The first film, directed by Larry Peerce, who also directed the spinoff, was a slickly prefabricated bathtub of movie sentimentality, at the heart of which was a gallant young woman facing real handicaps. 'Part II' is really a 30-minute postscript to that story, blown up to feature-length by artificial plot problems and so many flashbacks to the first movie that the second becomes a sort of reverse trailer, a coming attraction for something that's already gone. ... Mr. Peerce's direction suggests a certain amount of desperation. You can almost hear him asking, 'What can I do to make things interesting?'" Variety wrote that the film was "basically a love story, complete with hokum and a degree in implausibility." Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune gave the film two stars out of four and wrote, "The second time we're asked to cry for Kinmont, in 'The Other Side of the Mountain—Part 2,' we are being exploited. That's because the sequel wears its heart on its sleeve. It has only one emotion: pity." Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "This sequel presented an opportunity for Peerce and his new writer Douglas Day Stewart to make amends by depicting the extreme difficulties Miss Kinmont encountered in finding a school system that would accept her once she completed her education. But no, another chance to strike a much-needed blow for handicapped people's liberation was again passed up in favor of concentrating solely on Miss Kinmont's struggle within herself to dare to accept the love of a man." Gary Arnold of The Washington Post wrote that the film "doesn't match or enhance the inspirational impact of its predecessor" and found Timothy Bottoms "a sad comedown from Beau Bridges" as the love interest.
