"The film-true to life-gives us a curious glimpse of how Americans in the Middle West live. It is remarkably well-acted by George Nicholls as the father, by Helen Jerome Eddy as Cinderella. This actress has appeared in many films, but she has never been given such a chance before. From this film alone, she proves that she is an actress of uncommon talent. She is the character she portrays, and her love of her brilliant sister and her kind father, and the ecstatic and secret worship of the nice young man who is one of her sisters" admirers, are Expressed with a finished and beautiful art."
