In the five reels of this production there is much that is beautiful, as well as much that is crude. The scene where the feminine ideal of his imagination comes gliding over the water toward the rapt young man on shore, is as fine a piece of double exposure work as one could wish to see; the scene is, in itself, a gem. Had the film been cut to four reels the illusion might not have been destroyed, but the adding of reel number five brings with it a double climax and also a taint of confusion. The photography displayed in the production cannot be too highly praised. The players, too, are worthy of much commendation, and Marguerite Fisher is a delight; likewise Harry Pollard's work is exceedingly good. - The Moving Picture World, March 27, 1915
