An atmosphere of expanse and bigness and freedom is one of this picture's most noticeable features. It is a humanly truthful story, with a slight, but significant, incident behind it. It deals with a man's love for the great West, and with a girl's love for the social city. These young people were engaged, but when the girl came to spend a few weeks at the ranch, she became homesick. The man couldn't give up the West, and go with her back to the city, so they wisely separated. It is fairly well acted, although there is a little camera consciousness in three or four scenes; and there is also a touch of conventionality in the acting apparent at times. It is, however, a good and very commendable picture, true, not shallow, and interesting. - The Moving Picture World, October 14, 1911
