Reception

Toronto's The Globe noted that the film "wove many new and modern angles into a strange gripping story."[5]

The Spokesman-Review noted that Twelvetrees was given "a role that fits her well" after "ups and downs," and "the result is a picture of good entertainment value. Young is also a capable actor and gives Miss Twelvetrees adequate support."[6]
