A story with a good melodramatic punch; it is indeed very interesting. At the close of it we find that most satisfying of all melodramatic endings: after the villainess has neatly been made to work her own confusion; the audience is left laughing at her; so it gets over vigorously. Mary O'Connor, the authoress, has done a good bit of picture writing and its producer, W.J. Bauman, has handled it commendably. There is not much high class acting in it; but the players have provided what was needed to make it effective. - The Moving Picture World, November 22, 1913
