At first one grows a little impatient at the obscure development of this story, but later this feeling vanishes when the observer learns that it was all intended for a mystery. What looks like confusion of plot is really a purposely vague style of development. Alexander Gaden turns out to be a detective who has for years been rounding up the villain of the piece. The skull feature was unique and there is a sort of uncanny, expectant atmosphere about the story as it progresses. The suspense is well sustained in the second reel and the denouement is a satisfactory one. Not a powerful offering, but something different and enjoyable. - The Moving Picture World, July 4, 1914
