Writing for Der Kinematograph , Egon Jacobsohn critiqued the decision of the film to have scenes set outdoors filmed inside a film studio. He also commented on Decla's use of adding their logo to each intertitle in the silent film, as it led to inappropriate laughter when audiences read the logo outloud when reading the intertitles.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. A critic in Der Film found the screenplay gripping and logical in structure and praised Lang's direction as showing refined tastes and expertise but also subtle sensitivity to the tonal values that are effective.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.
