Reception
The D.Gray-man characters were praised by A.E. Sparrow of IGN in his review of the first volume. He said that "Walker is a solid hero with a dark past, the Millenium Earl is a menacing villain you'll love to hate" and the supporting cast shows enough potential to hold interest into future volumes. However, he compared the series' antagonist to three of Batman's villains and stated "Batman should consider litigation, but even he'd have problems" facing the Earl. Carlo Santos of Anime News Network was not as positive believing that the story was kept from its full potential due to "generic character designs". He also stated that because the action scenes are thrown together without a change of pace or mood, the readers never get to know the secondary characters better.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
