Information on the critical reception of 'Sonny' from 1922 is scarce, as film criticism was not as widely documented or preserved as it is today. Contemporary reviews, if they exist, are not readily available in modern databases. However, silent films of this era often focused on melodramatic storytelling and emotional performances, which likely would have been the primary focus of any existing reviews.

• Contemporary reviews (if any) likely focused on the film's sentimental plot.

• The performance of the lead actress would have been a key element discussed.

• The film's portrayal of rural life and aspirations was probably a central theme.
