Reception

A reviewer from Bioscope wrote, "Charles Chaplin, as the very broke gentleman who is anxious to make love to all the pretty girls assembled to watch some daring motor-races, manages to obtain an abundance of humor out of every situation. It is just the type of film that audiences have grown to appreciate with great gusto." [2]

Motion Picture News commented, "Charlie, Chester and Mabel attend an auto race. Results? As laughable as were ever pictured." [2]
