What is another word for pleasant reception?
Pronunciation: [plˈɛzənt ɹɪsˈɛpʃən] (IPA) 
"Welcome" is a common synonym for "pleasant reception." It typically implies a warm and open greeting. "Greeting" itself also works as a synonym, though it doesn't necessarily imply a positive reception. "Reception" and "receiving" fit best when the focus is on the act of being welcomed rather than the spirit of the welcome. "Hospitality" works when talking about the host's behavior and not necessarily the feeling of the guests. "Open arms" also fits best to describe an especially warm and welcoming atmosphere. "Invitation" and "reception" are related but distinct, the former evoking a more directed welcome while the latter refers to the overall experience.
