Reception Film Weekly wrote: "Thin and obvious crook melodrama, laboriously overdrawn and stiffly acted. Better direction, imparting pace to the telling of the story and creating a climax, might have made reasonably good entertainment of the picture, but that has not been done."
Kine Weekly wrote: "A neat crook drama, with a Raffles theme, charged with appealing paternal sentiment. The development is inclined to be leisurely, and the characters are somewhat ' toney,' but popular drama evolves from the theme and the entertainment seldom flags."
Picture Show wrote: "Not too convincing, development on the slow side."
