The show's cast and crew had a mixed response to "Favorite Son", while the episode received largely negative reviews from critics who viewed the Taresians as sexist stereotypes. According to Nielsen, the episode was watched by 6.17 million viewers, a drop from the previous week. Scholars have discussed "Favorite Son" as a reference to Odysseus' encounter with the Sirens, and analyzed the Taresians' method of sexual reproduction. During filming, the cast and crew adapted the plot as a take on a male fantasy, and Rush modeled the Taresians on geishas. However, the show's writers thought it would be too unbelievable. Wang preferred the original idea, believing it gave his character greater depth and further storyline opportunities.

Deborah May and Kristanna Loken play two of the Taresians, Patrick Fabian portrays a man tricked by them and Irene Tsu appears as Kim's mother.
