In 1996, Burrough was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Art Direction for the 1995 film Richard III.[3] He won the 1997 BAFTA Award for Best Production Design for the same film.[4] In 2000, he was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Art Direction for a Miniseries or Movie alongside Choi Ho Man and Dominic Smithers for their work on the television miniseries Arabian Nights.[5]

Burrough's production design has been praised by many critics. Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times referred to his settings in several films as being "so satisfying that they're a reason to see the film all by themselves".[6] His design of Santa's workshop and elf village in The Santa Clause 2 was praised by Kevin Thomas as being "the film's strongest asset".[7]
