Daily Record's Tony Stewart observed that Matt was "barely able to keep a lid on his jealousy" when he saw Lauren and Brad in a compromising situation. When Steph kidnapped Patrick, Dianne Butler, writing for The Courier-Mail, quipped "I guess we'll now get to see what sort of mettle Officer Matt has, or if that uniform is like the cheerleaders outfits on Glee." Butler later observed that Matt was "never not on duty, he's like Freddy Krueger, he never takes his uniform off." After Lauren revealed that she and Brad had a daughter, Laura Morgan from All About Soap speculated as to whether Matt and Terese could have an affair, calling them "outsiders to the situation" and adding "Will Mrs Willis turn to understanding Matt for a shoulder to cry on? It could be a brilliant twist to the tale!" When Matt and Lauren renewed their vows, a Daily Record reporter noted that they looked "a picture of happiness". Morgan later admitted that she was disappointed in Matt for listening to Terese and arresting Paige. She said "Whatever happened to family loyalty? Lauren's been on cloud nine since finding her daughter – why would he want to try to put a spanner in the works and ruin her happiness? We know he's got a duty as a copper, but he should just tell Terese to back off!" Helen Vnuk of TV Week included Matt in her feature on soap heroes. She stated that "Matt wasn't perfect" and that his "ultimate sacrifice cost him his life." Of the character's time in the show, Joe Julians of Digital Spy wrote, "Poor old Matt. Introduced with the rest of his family in 2013, he was seemingly there just to be a stop gap before wife Lauren eventually reunited with old flame Brad Willis. A steady and dependable guy, his final few weeks saw him fall on the wrong side of the law, cheat on Lauren, and then get fatally mown down by a car while arguing with Brad."
