This has long been an acceptable situation for motion pictures and we have seen these two lovers, each of whom has deceived the other into thinking that he and she possess great wealth, under many kinds of circumstances. In this case the girl is secretary of a rich society woman and the other is a poor clerk. There is novelty in the method of development of the story and it cannot help but amuse even those who have seen something like it in other pictures. A fair offering. - The Moving Picture World, March 21, 1914
