I studied a bit of René Girard as an undergrad, and enjoyed his thinking quite a lot. What sort of reception, if any, do his works receive in mainstream philosophy these days? Are there any critiques or treatments of his work that you recommend?

I frequently come across discussions of Girard's work and its relevance to our understanding of religion. The most interesting writer on him in my opinion is Fergus Kerr and it would be worth looking up his work on Girard.
