Reception
Variety wrote: "Romantic meller in low gear. No marquee strength, carbon copy yarn and ordinary performance. ... Production, direction and acting is pretty much what the story deserves. Charles Waldron, however, cashes in on the quiet possibilities of the blind man, while Bill, as the Seeing-Eye pooch, is a fair successor to Rin Tin Tin." [2]
The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "A swell little cops and robbers picture, with an out-of-the-ordinary story. It is well acted, moves rapidly, and a tightly written script makes the improbable theme – regeneration of crooks by farm life – seem believable. ... Only for a short time in the middle does the film lag." [3]
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This film has a placid tempo after a vigorous beginning; It has moments of excitement and moments of pathos, and the climaxes are well spaced and created. The characterisation and development of the reform of the gangsters are well drawn and well brought out by the direction." [4]
