A picture that tells a good story smoothly and effectively. It plainly pleased the audience and there was some applause when it became clear that the hero was to arrive in time to save the heroine from being robbed. The fashioning of the letter from the wife to her husband, so that when partly burned its meaning, as much of it as he can get, alarms him and brings him home in time to nab the burglar, is clever and convincing. The backgrounds are fresh and add a pleasing touch to the offering as a whole. Will M. Richey is the author of the script, which was produced by Fred Huntly. Hobart Bosworth plays the chief role, a detective who leaves home to hunt a criminal. His wife (Eugenie Besserer) receives some money and a clever crook (Henry Otto) breaks in and demands it. But her letter has called her husband home and he finds in the burglar the very man he was looking for. A good offering. - The Moving Picture World, September 6, 1913
