Reception
Michael French was nominated for the 'Most Popular Actor' award in the 2006 National Television Awards for his portrayal of the character. Both The Guardian and the Sunday Mirror have likened Nick to George Clooney's ER character Doug Ross - "the one everyone fancies" - with the Sunday Mirror deeming him "Handsome, talented, hot-headed and passionate. Dark, brooding, sexy. If your heart needs attention Nick Jordan's the man. 8/10." Andrew Billen for the New Statesman agrees that Nick is "good-looking", but suggests French's playing another "love rat" character after his EastEnders role to be type casting.

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)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
