Motion Picture Herald (Exhibitors Herald)

William R. Weaver

Every sequence in the picture will be loved by all observers who are not at loggerheads with mankind.

If it preaches any lesson in rectitude and the comfort and dignity of character, it does so with friendly warmth and agreeable humor in terms of delightful diversion. All ages of both genders will find it pulsating with palatable pastiming.

San Francisco Examiner

Hortense Morton (Screen Scout)

The plot of the film is strong, but it's the ordinary every day living touches that enrich it... the warm relationships between members of the family... the light comedy touches and deeper emotional moments.

Mildred Martin

It leaps to thrilling action with the race itself, the most pictorially colorful, heart-stoppingly exciting event of the sort ever staged for the motion picture cameras.
