Reception
The Motion Picture Herald gave it a "fair" review, taking issue with the thinness of the plot. Photoplay liked the picture even less simply stating, "Voo hooey!" in their rating of the film. However, they did commend the performances of Ona Munson and Richard Lane, and particularly enjoyed the work of Stuart Erwin. New York's Daily News gave the film a poor review giving it a 1/2 star, with the reviewer saying, "There was only one thing which kept me from crying when I saw this all-around puerile production. It is so bad I laughed at it."
