Reception
L.J. Bourstein of Motography wrote: "Miss Frederick again is given opportunity to display her unusual dramatic capabilities and accomplishes another remarkable success [...] Excellent photography has considerable to do with this picture. Many of the numerous camera effects have been executed with precision and bespeaks of the capability of Ned Van Buren, the photographer. Robert Vignola directed and has turned out a very satisfactory and entertaining drama".

Like many American films of the time, Madame Jealousy was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. The Chicago Board of Censors required a cut, in Reel 4, of an intoxicated young woman rising from a table and staggering towards a man.
