Cleverness is the quality most apparent in this picture. Just the right amount of burlesquing makes it very amusing. The earnest man and the flippant man will sit side by side watching the picture, and both will laugh with delight, till the earnest man hears the sinner laugh, and then he may be ashamed of himself, for there's a cynical touch in it. It is hypocrisy that is made ridiculous, not things that ought to be reverenced but it is so clever that anyone can easily misunderstand it to suit his own taste. Probably it won't greatly offend anyone; it oughtn't to. Miss Lawrence takes the part of the actress very ably, while Mr. Johnson, in the first scenes, perhaps overdoes his part as the minister's son who is engaged to her; he shouldn't be so awkward. - The Moving Picture World, June 17, 1911
