His bromance with Jackson Avery was also well received. Janalen Samson of BuddyTV wrote: "Eric Dane has always shown a facility for sly, deft comedy and these scenes with Jesse Williams are proving to be gems. I do love a good Bromance and these two actors are bringing the love and the funny in spades." Writing for TV Fanatic, Courtney Morrison commented: "Sloan has brought the "GA" comedy scale up a bit with his bromances and mentoring Jackson." The pairing was listed in Zap2it's 25 Top Bromances of 2012. "Los Angeles Times" TV columnist, Carina Mackenzie, described his scenes with Torres as "always perfectly sharp".
