The series' premiere garnered terrific ratings, with 4.4 million people tuning in. Eureka was also the #1 cable program for that Tuesday night, and was the highest-rated series launch in Sci Fi's fourteen-year history. [1]
Critical reaction was mixed, with general praise for the premise, but overall middling reaction to the writing of the pilot.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
It's all very quirky. Too quirky, maybe, for an audience that is used to spaceships, robots, and explosions. Though every episode promises an "aha!" moment based in quantum physics and obscure scientific laws, this world is relatively flat, conceptually speaking, in comparison to the complexity woven into series such as Stargate SG-1 and Battlestar Galactica. This does not mean Eureka is a complete waste of time. Not at all. The characters are fun, Ferguson is believable and pleasant, the script is solidly constructed, and the visuals are slickly produced. All in all, it's a sweet series and probably not long for this world.[2]
I've liked it so far -the home automation system the Sheriff has got could be quite a laugh
I hope the next episodes are as good, following the pilot - we'll see! 
not that I have anything against socks!
