This is a good picture that people will like. It has strength and is a life portrayal; but its strength is in its true character drawing and not so much in its situation. This situation is not impossible; but it has one very noticeable improbability, the fact that an only son who loved his mother dearly would hardly have neglected to correspond with her, when he became very successful in the city. Reviewers hear strangers around them make to each other such remarks very often. However, this picture has very much truth and beauty. The old couple are Mr. Van Dyke Brooke and Mrs. Maurice, and their son is Mr. Costello. The farm scenes are as fine as can be and all the others are just as good in themselves. These three players are very strong and the producer has composed his picture very commendably. The camera work is artistic. - The Moving Picture World, June 8, 1912
