Reception The Daily Film Renter wrote: "It is impossible to believe in this novelettish story ... The players are hard put to it to infuse any conviction into the stilted roles in which they have been cast. Suffice to say Renee Ray, Garry Marsh, Elisabeth Jenns, and Margaret Yarde reveal themselves worthy of better material."
Picture Show wrote: "A romantic melodrama in which a stolen will is restored to its original owners. Blackmail also enters into the story but none of it is very clear. ...Poor entertainment."
Picturegoer wrote: "The long arm of coincidence is so stretched in this involved and verbose drama that it contains very little entertainment value. There are far too many characters in whom one is supposed to take an interest, and though the artistes do their best, they fail entirely to hold your attention or bring conviction to their roles."
