Reception
From contemporary reviews, Variety declared the film as "Usual whodunit pattern" and that the "cast works nicely for common good without gaining much personal distinction. Direction neat."Шаблон:Sfn Motion Picture Herald stated that the film was "a lively combination of mystery, aptly set in atmosphere of San Francisco's Chinatown, and melodrama [...] this picture has those elements which are salabale in that they appeal two basic and perennial interests of the motion picture going public, action and mystery."Шаблон:Sfn Film Daily found the film to be a "fair murder mystery" noting "nothing very pretentious, but a generally entertaining Chinatown melodrama that ought to satisfy the not too meticulous murder mystery fans."Шаблон:Sfn A review in Harrison's Reports concluded that the film's plot was "somewhat complicated and far-fetched. But because of the fact the identity of the murderer is not made known until the end one's attention is held fairly well."Шаблон:Sfn
From retrospective reviews, Michael R. Pitts in his book Thrills Untapped described the feature as a "speedy affair" that was "hampered by mediocre direction but enhanced by a good cast."Шаблон:Sfn
