Reception
Exhibitor's Herald gave the film a positive review. While they felt the plot was not as well-done as it might have been, it was good enough to develop into an "interesting production", for which most viewers would "come away with a lighter feeling and a greater admiration for Miss Storey." They praised Storey's performance. Motion Picture News also enjoyed the picture, stating, "The production is in five reels and there is actionable drama every foot of the reelage."
