Note
A plural that covers most of what reception means, but not all of it. Gatherings, welcomes and front desks count freely: the hotel's two receptions, the mixed receptions a new play gets. Reception in the radio sense stays a mass noun, though. A set gets good or poor reception, never good receptions, and that is the one place the plural cannot follow the singular.
receptions is a form of reception
