The New York Times critic also gave this a bad review. The most notable thing about the film was the story that Frederick told of Lou Tellegen--not a native English speaker--took Frederick aside after a few days shooting to ask her to explain what "a Sunder" was.

Probably one of the worst pictures that was ever put together--even though it does bring Pauline Frederick and Lou Tellegen back to the screen. Poor direction, over-acting and an inexcusably bad story. Marriages and divorces follow each other in rapid succession, and even double deaths do not disconcert the continuity writer. When this comes to your local theater spend the evening at home with the radio and the kiddies.
