Variety wrote: "It isn't likely that anybody will get as excited about the plot as do the actors in this picture. Such an arrangement is always embarrassing and never an inducement at the box office. Besides which, $10 Raise has no special pull in its cast. A clever portrait of a poor sap by Edward Evert Horton and some samples of exceptionally good screen writing are the assets, but not sufficient. ... On top of sending its punches by Postal Telegraph, the punches thus sent are few and far between, and these few bear little weight behind them. All in all, it is one of those 'nice' plctures intended as a pleasantry but resulting in 60 minutes of inconsequential celluloid." ==References==
