Critical reception
[edit]Motion Picture Herald stated that marketers of the film could exploit "the return of Ramon Novarro to motion pictures after an extended and never very widely explained absence." Noting that the film had elements in common with Novarro's earlier successes, it commented, "Adele Buffington's story and screen play indicate complete comprehension on her part of the showman's requirements in effecting the reinstatement of the star as a box office figure."[4]
