Critical reception

Daily Telegraph wrote, "provides an hour's ideal entertainment"; and the Sunday Pictorial called it, "packed with every known ingredient of popularity." ^[3] while The New York Times wrote, "in a prologue to the film it is set forth that Mr. Wallace has attempted a daring and original combination of melodrama and musical comedy in a manner to end all musical melodramas forever. In all likelihood these designations were put upon The Yellow Mask after it had emerged from the studio, in a hasty effort to give this hodge-podge a meaning." ^[4]
