In 1900, Alice Entwistle recognized his literary standing, noting that he "holds a distinguished place among the short-story writers of the time." Decades later, Sam Moskowitz reinforced this praise, ranking Morrow alongside Poe, Hawthorne, Bierce, Chambers, and Crawford as one of America's greatest horror storytellers. Charles Caldwell Dobie described him as "a master of the imagination, properly controlled by a lucid style." Morrow’s work gained lasting recognition, with several of his stories reprinted in Weird Tales and anthologized in collections such as Argonaut Stories (1906), 33 Sardonics (1946), and Horror Times Ten (1967).
