Reviews:

Variety, October 1923: "Norma Shearer is always charming. She manages to retain asset in portrayal of the hunted heroine. Charles Delaney portrays the youthful lover, while Edward Roseman does his villianous best to make the pursuer hateful.

Whatever prompted them to call this film The Devil's Partner is conundrum. 'And the Villain Still Pursued Her' would have been far more explanatory."

Photoplay, December 1923: "One of the seaon's crop films to feel the blighting influence of frost is this absurd and wholly artificial melodrama of the Great Northwest. It is so like hundreds of others that have gone on before that every twist and turn of the plot it known to the picture-goer as soon as he identifies the theme. It is best described as unimportant."
