In 2018, writers for "TV Week" included Martha in their feature on the "Top 20 "Home And Away" characters of all time". They wrote, "Martha holds a special place in the hearts of long-time fans because she was born to the teenage Roo (Justine Clarke) in the show's first year. When Martha arrived back in the Bay in 2005 – played by ex-model Jodi rather than Burcin Kapkin – she was definitely all grown up. The image of her working as a pole dancer in a tiny skirt is etched into the memory of many viewers. When Martha wasn't dancing, she spent much of her time narrowly avoiding death."
