Rave reviews

Alfred Kuttner, critic for the National Board of Review: "Janet Gaynor as Diane and Charles Farrell as Chico...made the shameless, frank appeal of youth and beauty which dissolves the strictures of the old in warm memories and evokes the helpless rapture of the young They were graceful with the grace of beautiful animals. This Chico was shy as a young man might be shy, and Diane's shyness was a trembling sweet thing to see. None of them acted shyness."

New York Reviews on Farrell's performance: "a performance free from self-consciousness and grimace, a piece of work quite out of the ordinary."
