Reception
Exhibitors Herald gave the film a positive review. While they felt the plot was not as well-done as it might have been, it was good enough to develop into an "interesting production", for which most viewers would "come away with a lighter feeling and a greater admiration for Miss Storey." They praised Storey's performance.[2] Motion Picture News also enjoyed the picture, stating, "The production is in five reels and there is actionable drama every foot of the reelage."[3]
