Reception
Moving Picture World wrote: "The scenic effects are good and the situations, while very familiar, have a little more dash and go to them than usual." Motion Picture News wrote: "The plot is conventional but is enacted in a manner that makes it most interesting. There is an excellent fight scene between the two men."
