Critical reception
Lionel Collier, writing for the British magazine, Picturegoer, described the film as "a mixture of rough stuff and sentiment mixed with quite commendable skill." He wrote positively of the performances : "Sally Eilers doing well as a nurse who, believing that her young brother had been killed by a policeman, seeks revenge … Paul Kelly is suitably virile as the policeman and Larry Blake effectively sinister as the gangster."[2]
