Critical reception
Joseph F. Coughlin, writing for Motion Picture Herald, commented that the film served mainly as a vehicle for the young actor, Ronald Sinclair, and although Sinclair was "strikingly handsome", and possessed a "surprising resemblance" to Freddie Bartholomew, "a rather apparent camera consciousness detracts from his eager and engaging personality." Coughlin expressed the view that the film may be difficult for exhibitors to promote as "star names are absent" and "performances are competent if not inspired."[4]
