 "The New York Times" gave it a scathing review, calling the film absurd, and the direction “amateurish.”

Iribe was a man prone to anger, shouting matches, and fist fights when contradicted and did not endear himself to colleagues.He engaged in a sustained feud with DeMille’s key costume designer, Mitchell Leisen, which resulted in Leisen being fired by DeMille in 1923.After Iribe’s costly and infamous failure with "Changing Husbands", DeMille was forced to make peace with Leisen and bring him back in.
