A study of the social bee and of the kind of honey that it makes. There is depth to it and its characters, conceived at first hand, are clearly drawn and stand out sharply. There is a weak man, a woman with a most unpleasant character and a good woman, and, in setting them in their lives, the author has done very little side-stepping from truth and actuality, little mixing of romantic slush. It seems to have much of the same tang as "The House of Mirth." One might find small faults; but it is a big picture, a very desirable offering. Both W.E. Wing, author, and R.S. Sturgeon, producer, have done well. Laura Oakley and Anne Schaefer show up mighty well in the picture's big scene, which is astonishingly strong for a dialogue. George Stanley gives good support. Charles Bennett. Mrs. Hathaway and R.T. Thornby have good roles and are natural. The photography is of high quality. - The Moving Picture World, May 10, 1913
