Reception
Screenland called the film "Just another college picture!" and criticized it for the use of clichés and "a story without merit."

 Exhibitors Herald-World published two reviews, the first of which had a similar tone as Screenland, writing "Just another petting party, just another track race, another football game and you have all four of the college pictures that have been made this year. The public is sick of them." The second review felt it was a "Pretty good college picture" but criticized Ruth Taylor's acting.
