It was this reviewer's impression that several times in this romantic comedy, what may be called the picture's humanity was sacrificed to making it funny. Were not the letter from the young girl (niece of the old maid who lived over the wall) and the young clubman's reply, which he supposed was to reach a woman much older than himself, out of character? They were very ill-bred letters for young people to write to older people and didn't heighten our sympathy for them. Later, when the two have become friends and, as the leader says, "more than friends," his puppy and her kitten are before them and each lifts one of them up. In the hero, that way of expressing affection for his puppy seemed not quite masculine. The picture was not always convincing enough to be interesting, nor was the photography always good. In the second scene it was poor. - The Moving Picture World, August 19, 1911
