Of his casting in a later interview, Crowe said "I was on the set for three hours one morning…it is really unfair to keep associating me with the show." In a feature chronicling successful Neighbours alumni, The Sydney Morning Herald described Kenny as a "small-time crook". The Mirror described Kenny, who they listed at Number 9 in a list of 23 Neighbours actors who left to conquer Hollywood, as "a dodgy ex-con, who was up to no good at all". Wales Online labeled Kenny "a bruiser".
