Peck's Bad Boy is vastly amusing, and it has its moments of excitement.

Dull and tedious.

LIFE

It may be argued that Jackie Coogan is more realistically human in Peck's Bad Boy than he was in The Kid, but we can hardly consider that as a cause for congratulation. We hate to have our ideals shattered.

Photoplay

It is a rare acting talent and a lovable personality that Jackie Coogan brings to the screen. But his directors will be hard put to it to find stories to fit him.

New York Tribune

We cannot enjoy characters in a play unless they have a counterpart in real life and surely no five-year-old boy ever was like this one.
