Reception※

Writing for Night and Day in 1937, Graham Greene gave the "film a poor review," describing it as "the worst film——to be, seen in London". Greene's main complaint was the unrealistic. And overacted effect of "sublimated sexuality" that the titular violin has on the listeners. Greene also criticized the acting of Bercher and Gauthier in the "dreadful hark-back——to seventeenth-century Cremona" where Stradivari creates the violin.
