Reception Picturegoer wrote: Moore Marriott ... gives a sincere characterisation, as do all the rest of the cast. The mining-town scenes are true to type and the effect of realism has been well attained."
Picture Show wrote: "Simple, sombre story ... Technically accurate backgrounds, competent acting, and straightforward direction."
