Reception
Jax was ranked as seventh on the list of top old school Mortal Kombat characters by Game Revolution in 2003. His "Arm Rip" Fatality from MKII was voted by the readers of GamePro as the best Mortal Kombat finishing move yet in 1995 and in 2006 the staff of IGN named it as the tenth best gore effect in the video game history. His "Giant Jax" Fatality from MK3 was also included by IGN in their "unofficial" list of top ten Fatalities in 2010, and, on the other hand, on GamePro's 2008 list of the 12 "lamest" Fatalities. Game Rant ranked Jax as tenth on the list of 10 most awesome Mortal Kombat characters, describing his "Gotcha Grab" and "Air Back Breaker" moves as two of the most satisfying moves from the original trilogy, but were not fond of his appearance in MKII where he looked like "a third tier WWE star in tight Lycra pants." Game Rant also ranked his "Three Points" Fatality from MK 2011 as the ninth best from that game, who was initially worried that his fatality would be like Sheeva's "Jackhammer", but was no longer worried when he kicked the opponents head off. Cheat Code Central listed Jax as the eighth best Mortal Kombat character, who commented while not too special in MKII, he became awesome in MK3, when he got the metal arms. 411mania placed Jax as the seventh best Mortal Kombat character, adding "Jax looks like a real bad-ass and that's what makes me want to play him." In UGO Networks' 2012 list of the Top 50 Mortal Kombat Characters, Jax placed at 10th. On the other hand, GameFront called him "a character no one cares about."

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
