Reviews in German: "Nur Unterhaltungs-Junk-Food" (Baltimore Sun)
"A piece of junk.... The company has simply covered itself with water and become soaking wet, for this tale of a half-dumb boy who turned prohibition agent to convince his girl he had nerve is as wishy-washy as any pail of dishwater." (Baltimore Sun (1926):)
"The development is of such an episodic nature...that the initial idea is eventually lost in a variety of comedy gags, slapstick and otherwise..." (Film Daily (1926))
"The Boob" has its interesting moments, thanks to the sincerity of George K. Arthur, his enthusiasm and his comedy flare.
(...) Joan Crawford and Gertrude Olmsted contribute their bit and so does Charlie Murray. (...) The direction might have been improved upon. Mr. Wellman has subtle touches but at times he lets his players get away from him. (...)
The story centers around a youth called Peter, who, after he is rejected by the girl of his heart, goes out into he world to prove to her that the spirit of knighthood is not dead. The obstacles he encounters form the basis for much comedy and pathos. (...) The continuity is bad and the cutter should have shortened certain scenes." (PICTURES, August, 1926)
