Reception Film Weekly wrote: "One of those deadly serious subjects beloved, apparently, by smaller British producers is here developed with a great deal of earnestness but little entertainment value. ... A prodigious quantity of dialogue with little real notion, either of story or of the characters, make the film slow and dull. And the acting is not of a quality distinguished enough to save it."
Kine Weekly wrote: "It cannot be said that The Other Woman enhances the value of British pictures. The story has possibilities, but they have been poorly exploited. Neither acting nor production reaches a good standard, but the picture may draw on account of the star and a blameless moral tone."
Picture Show wrote: "Very 'Society' with long, stilted, moralising speeches, and dragging development. The players do their best and deserve sympathy."
