Reception

edit

Moving Picture World did not give the film a good review. They felt the film's pace was slow and rambling, and the relationship between the two leads, Emily Stevens and Montagu Love, was never well developed. While they enjoyed Love's performance, the felt that Stevens was miscast and not carry off her role well.[2]
