Reception
The film received a positive review in The Film Daily, stating that it as a whole was a "Virile western subject that has some very pleasing bits; will sure to please Bill Hart fans".Burns Mantle, writing for Photoplay Magazine, gave it a mixed review, stating that "A better Western than 'Human Stuff' is William S. Hart's 'Sand,' but this, too, is below the Hart standard - the standard, at least, established by 'The Toll-Gate.'"
Moving Picture World reported that president Woodrow Wilson had seen the film and had enjoyed it.
