Critical reception
[edit]Lionel Collier, wrote for the British magazine, Picturegoer, "Young Mickey Rooney improves in every picture in which he appears. If only his directors would have a little more restraint when they direct him in his more lachrymose moments, he would be the perfect juvenile actor." Collier also commented that Wallace Beery was "in fine form."[2]
