The Press of Atlantic City gave the picture a good review calling it, "an unpretentious picture, but fairly entertaining.[1] Photoplay, however, did not enjoy the picture, calling it a "banal ballad in celluloid", and considering it a kindness not to mention who was in the cast.[2] The Motion Picture Herald gave the film a positive review, saying it had a good share of action, romance, and domestic intrigue.[3] While The Film Daily also gave the film a positive review, feeling the direction was okay and the photography was good. They stated the film was "nicely balanced with human interest angles gets over with plenty of fast action."[4]
