Motion Picture News wrote: "The director, Charles Giblyn, has proven himself worthy of great praise.

There is sufficient scheming, brawls, duel scenes and the like to appease the appetites of the keen lovers of sensationalism, and those who would not be content with the great character study that the picture offers.
