Critical reception  Bill Oberst Jr. as Gen. Sherman The documentary was well received by the television critics.
Tony Perry, writing for the Los Angeles Times liked the film. He wrote, "Civil War documentaries are inevitably judged against the monumental work by Ken Burns. Sherman's March, different in tone and approach, more than holds its own. Whereas Burns used period photographs and regional music, Sherman's March leans on reenactments, maps and, like Burns, academic talking heads. If there is a quibble, it's that the music tends to distract, not enhance, the effect."[3] The Los Angeles Times (also known as the LA Times) is a daily newspaper published in Los Angeles, California and distributed throughout the Western United States. ...

Broadcasting critic Dusty Saunders also liked the scholarly aspect of the documentary. He wrote, "...Sherman's March, [is] a compelling documentary on The History Channel that's must viewing for Civil War buffs. Even viewers with only passing knowledge about this military action will be mesmerized by this superb recounting.[4]
