Reception
For his portrayal of Sam, Grieve received a nomination for Most Popular Newcomer at the first National Television Awards. Serena Coneele from Inside Soap stated "At long last, a hunk who isn't squeaky clean is about to burn into Ramsay Street on a motorbike! Sam Kratz looks set to get the Erinsborough women running hell for leather to their make-up bags, and with his smouldering looks, it's not difficult to see why." A writer for the BBC's Neighbours website said that Sam's most notable moment was "Confessing his love for Annalise." Josephine Monroe commented that Sam was "a handsome biker always on the edge of the law". John Millar from the Daily Record thought Sam was "a few shrimps short of the barbie" and added "I have had grave fears about Sam's sanity ever since I spotted a poster for the Elvis film flop Harum Scarum on his wall. If he thought that was good, then there's no hope for him." The Sun-Herald's Pamela Jane called Sam "sexy", while her colleague Rachel Browne branded him a "motor bike-riding rough diamond".
