A two-part Irish melodrama with little real Irish spirit. There are two or three fine situations in it; but they have not been made wholly convincing and so are only partially effective. The characters are quite conventional and the picture keeps reminding one of something better than itself. The fact that it is well staged helps it as entertainment. The photography is of good quality. A fair commercial offering. - The Moving Picture World, April 11, 1914
