Personally I'm still unsure what to make of him.
Initially I didn't like him at all. Well, it was partly because I'm a big fan of Gideon (which you all already know, I guess, ha-ha ;)) and Rossi's arrival just reminded again that Gideon isn't coming back. Ever. But it was only part of it. The main reason was he just didn't feel like part of the team. And for quite a while it seemed (to me) that he didn't really care to become a part of it. In particular the comments he made about JJ and Hotch's personal affairs in 3x06 rubbed me the wrong way.
This season I got used to him and even started to like him a little. What I don't like recently is that he seemes to be the solver of everyone's problem: JJ (4x14), Emily (4x17), Hotch (4x18) - and I can't see any particular reason for it. So the little warmth I was beginning to have for him, started to dessipate again.
Just to be fair, things that I do like about him: he's loyal, he's a good profiler, he adjusted quickly to the new methods, he does care for the victims and his co-workers. It's just that... I don't know. He's arrogance and the air of all-knowing is sometimes too much to bear.
