writer gingersnap praised the decision to pair the african american hilary with an african american male, instead of reverting to the typical interracial pairing. she declared "urban drama, angst, and sexy off the charts chemistry galore has come right back to y&r with a fiery diligence!" while gingersnap insisted that there was nothing wrong with interracial love, she said "i'm sick of black women being valued and rewarded only when white [men] desire them and vice versa for black men." the writer also credited james and morgan's acting with making her believe that devon is hilary's "soul mate" and likened the pairing to the "brown skinned romeo montague to brown skinned juliet capulet." she continued, "you know a couple is worth weight in pure gold if the actors can have great eye sex.… even if they only have a three minute scene without uttering dialogue to one another. it's that abyssal deep." she later explained of the couple: "alas hilary and devon's story brought seeded a hope that brown skinned woman could be coveted by a brown skinned man, desirable, wanted and appreciated. devon worshiped hilary like a queen, a goddess. to see these characters show affection, to kiss was beautiful, a representation humanizing an experience rarely depicted, shedding light on hilary and devon as a phenomenon, as a promised beacon in the predominately white driven daytime world." ashley dionne said that the pairing gave fans "the audacity to hope." while previous writing regimes did not recognize it, "devon hamilton is a catch" dionne stated. "james has proven that along with the sometimes emotional storylines he's been given, he can also be the romantic daytime hunk his fans knew he would be if given the chance." sean o'brien from "soap opera spy" applauded james and morgan for their consistent portrayal. "they've taken scripts from various writers and created solid on-screen chemistry." he stated. o'brien continued, "when all snarky provocative paragraphs have ended, the honest assertion of this scribe is that ‘hevon’ is great entertainment!" "soaps in depth" praised the duo's "painfully honest" break-up in 2017. meanwhile, sean o'brien argued that the plot seemed "trumped up." he continued that if not for the writers' obvious intentions on changing the couple's dynamic, the "overreaction" from devon wouldn't "add up." he argued that the writers "pushed devon to act out of character" to push devon and mariah together.
