Its rather trying situation is handled in a clean, wholesome way

A strongly dramatic picture of passion, set in Western backgrounds that are somewhat rough and primitive. It is an effective human and truthful story yet its rather trying situation is handled in a clean, wholesome way. Indeed, the moral wisdom of the story is one of its highest qualities. Four people have prominent roles in it, two couples, with the flirtatious wife of one man and the light-headed husband of the other woman as the victims of their own folly. That all concerned become victims before the end need, hardly be said. It is a tragedy of disillusion; there is no killing in it. The characters are drawn in a vivid, clear-cut way, showing much imagination in both the producer and the players. The scene closing and photography could hardly have been improved upon. It is a desirable picture. - The Moving Picture World, July 6, 1912
