Time magazine was ruthless with its review: "Includes in its cast two of the best comedy pantomimists of the screen, Dorothy Gish and Glenn Hunter. It really would seem as if they couldn't help saving the film. But, except for a few scenes which they do brighten, they are amazingly ineffectual. Because, apparently, instead of letting them act, if they know how to act by themselves, or directing them to act as every one who has even seen them knows they can act on occasion.... But it is not all Mr. Jones's fault. He had no story to begin with, but merely an assortment of stock rural characters and slap-stick small-town situations with the wit all worn off them."The
Boston American, on the other hand, found the film quite entertaining, calling it "the kind of picture to which one can—and is urged to—bring the whole family." ==Preservation==
