It falls off slightly in story quality from the previous Marie Osborne dramas, the plot not centering around the characters played by the young star until the last reel. But this does not seriously effect Marie; neither will it matter much to her admirers. The little miss just goes ahead with the work before her and gives it all the charm of innocent childhood as personified by an unusually bright and winsome four-year-old. As this reviewer has before stated, Marie does not act, but lives the character and actually experiences the emotions she is told to portray. In "Twin Kiddies" she impersonates the child of rich parents who have allowed her to become fretful and bad tempered, and the daughter of a poor man, whose love and care have given his little girl a cheerful disposition and a bright smile. The two characters are kept distinct from each other. Aside from the dressing it is never the least difficult to tell them apart. The crux of the theme is when the two children change houses, by mistake, and the child of wealth is transformed into a lovable little girl by the same influences that molded the nature of the other youngster. There are captivating revelations of child nature all through the picture, and Henry King, little Miss Osborne's director, again proves his understanding of his subject and the care lavished by him on his task. -- The Moving Picture World, January 20, 1917
