Jeanmarie and Duplaix's performances received some positive critical responses. Giddens praised Jeanmarie for portraying Vincent as a believable character despite the sensationalism of his story arcs; he wrote: "If anyone on that show could have won an Emmy it was him." Josh Robertson of "Complex" called Duplaix one of the most successful soap actresses, who had been a "Playboy" Playmate, for her performances as Valerie in thirty-four episodes of "Passions," along with her portrayal of Rachel Gannon in ninety-five episodes of "One Life to Live".
