Reception
Early critical reception of Don was mixed. Gillian Flynn of Entertainment Weekly said that Morrow’s performance was “with full CSI-inspired stoicism”. Melanie McFarland, TV critic for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, stated that Don was not an original character as of the pilot. Tim Goodman of the San Francisco Chronicle, however, called Morrow, as Don, “likable”. Robert Bianco of USA Today stated that, although Don did not come across as an obvious choice of role for Morrow, Morrow was excellent as Don.
Since then, Don has been more widely accepted. Morrow is now as recognized for his role as Don Eppes as he is for his role in Northern Exposure. In a public service announcement, Morrow congratulated the Federal Bureau of Investigation on their 100th anniversary. With 53 percent of the votes, Don took first place in the category of "Sexiest FBI Agent" in TV Guide's poll.
