Return loss is how much power is returned by the load. If you have something like 15 db - that means the reflected power is 15 db below your applied power.
Anything over 20 db is pretty good. 15 db is acceptable - 10 db is a little too much like for a transmit antenna. You can convert it to SWR if that makes it make more sense.
