24th-best-looking sideline chick in games, commenting on Ada's resemblance to Nikita from La Femme Nikita. In 2012, Complexs Larry Hester ranked her as the eighth-best Asian character in video games, stating that this "bad girl killed zombies like roaches with the sophistication of a ballet dancing gunslinger," while Larry Hester from the same magazine put her at the 28th "hottest" women in video games, describing her as "enshrined in fanboy canon forever more."

Play editor Gavin Mackenzie criticized her perceived "bitch" personality in Resident Evil 4 in retrospective from the events of Resident Evil 2.
