The "Liberty by the Seashore" pattern coin Art historian Cornelius Vermeule described the twenty-cent piece's obverse as "a pleasing synthesis of traditional elements". He was less complimentary about the eagle on the reverse, calling it awkward and a fatter version of the eagle on 18th-century American coinage.

Alexander Pope, who in his Moral Essays (Epistle to the Earl of Burlington) was alleged to have ridiculed Cannons under the guise of Timon's Villa, later referred to the Duke in the line, "Thus gracious Chandos is belov'd at sight"; but Jonathan Swift, less complimentary, called him "a great with every court". The poet was caricatured by Hogarth for his supposed servility to Chandos.

According to Pope biographer Maynard Mack, Chandos thereafter assured Pope by letter that he believed him, i.e.
Allmusic's Richie Unterberger described Unhalfbricking as "a transitional album for the young Fairport Convention, in which the group shed its closest ties to its American folk-rock influences and started to edge toward a more traditional British folk-slanted sound". Rolling Stone's John Mendelsohn, reviewing Unhalfbricking alongside Liege and Lief, was supportive, describing it as "Fairport Convention at its best" and singling out "Percy's Song" in particular as "the album's gem".

In a contemporary review of Alien Lanes, Matt Diehl of Rolling Stone described the album's music as "hooky rock that infuses songwriting smarts and a love of melody with a sometimes spiky, sometimes whimsical sense of experimentation". Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian gave the album a positive review, stating that "Pollard's songs are gems that stay just this side of self-conscious eccentricity". Sullivan noted the songs' lengths, stating that they were "just enough time for Pollard to wheeze a few oblique lines and guitarist Tobin Sprout to trace out a raucous melody." Robert Christgau of The Village Voice was less complimentary, giving the album a "dud" rating.

Muthesius describes the fireplace as a "splendid example ... with finely composed relief decoration". Jenkins considers it "surely the world's biggest inglenook" and describes the overall impact of the room as "sensational", noting the top-lit ceiling and the elaborate Jacobethan plasterwork. Others have been less complimentary; the writer Reginald Turnor, no admirer either of Shaw or of Victorian architecture and its architects more generally, wrote of the room's "flamboyant and rather sickening detail". By the time of its construction, Shaw, increasingly working for clients of great wealth, had moved on from his "Old English" style, and the room is designed and decorated in a grander and more opulent Renaissance taste.
During most of his career Simon's work received mixed reviews, with many critics admiring his comedy skills, much of it a blend of "humor and pathos". Other critics were less complimentary, noting that much of his dramatic structure was weak and sometimes relied too heavily on gags and one-liners. As a result, notes Kopince, "literary scholars had generally ignored Simon's early work, regarding him as a commercially successful playwright rather than a serious dramatist." Clive Barnes, theater critic for The New York Times, wrote that like his British counterpart Noël Coward, Simon was "destined to spend most of his career underestimated", but nonetheless very "popular".
His own Inquirer chain devotes the entire front page to him, praising him for his "lifetime of service" and stating that the "entire nation mourns".

The Minneapolis Record Herald praises him as the "Sponsor of Democracy", the Detroit Star as "Leader of [the] News World" and a "Man of Destiny", but the El Paso Journal accuses him of having "Instigated War for Profit".
Upon its release, All Our Favourite Stories received a mixed critical response. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews and ratings from mainstream critics, the album has received a metascore of 55, based on 9 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews." The album was described by the Observer as containing "punchy pop songs with immediate, uncomplicated appeal", while its sister publication the Guardian praised the "solid gold indie pop songs ornamented with real precision and flair". The NME was less complimentary, lamenting the loss of the band's early, rougher sound which it considered had been replaced by "earnest but uninspiring anthemic rock".
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to let a lower court's ruling stand, denying fair use protection for the book's use of unpublished sources, set a precedent favouring copyright protection of unpublished material over biographers' freedom of speech. Courts in the UK and Canada took an opposite view, allowing publication of Bare-faced Messiah in the public interest. Reviews of the book have been broadly positive — one calling it "the best and most comprehensive biography of L. Ron Hubbard" — and praise the quality and depth of Miller's research. The Scientology organization has been less complimentary; the executor of Hubbard's estate called it "a scumbag book ... full of bullshit" in a court deposition in the U.S.
Paul Martin, the man who led the team that produced the Red Book was less complimentary about the Red Book in private as during his time in office as Finance Minister, he was often reported to have said: "Don't tell me about the Red Book, I wrote the damn thing, and I know that it is a lot of crap!".Jeffrey, Brooke Divided Loyalties: The Liberal Party of Canada, 1984–2008, Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2010 page 265. The Liberals promised to remove the GST, which had previously been imposed by the Conservatives. Sheila Copps famously promising to resign within a year of taking office if the GST was not repealed.
Perhaps most central was that the Liberal Red Book gave costs for each of their promises and summed them.

Paul Martin, the man who led the team that produced the Red Book was less complimentary about the Red Book in private as during his time in office as Finance Minister, he was often reported to have said: "Don't tell me about the Red Book, I wrote the damn thing, and I know that it is a lot of crap!".Jeffrey, Brooke Divided Loyalties: The Liberal Party of Canada, 1984-2008, Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2010 page 265.
Serba commends the historical accuracy, but worries that the necessary commitment to 60 episodes may be off-putting for U.S. and UK audiences, who are used to much shorter series and miniseries. On the Decider rating scale, which is either "skip it" or "stream it" (based on video-on- demand terminology), Serba concludes that it is worth it to "stream it". Kahron Spearman for The Daily Dot was less complimentary. He establishes various historical views of Bolívar and says that "his story deserves an abundance of space, depth, and dignity", criticizing Netflix and Caracol for different elements of the production that he sees as preventing this, including their decision that "an unreasonable 60-episode schedule was something the people required".
In his review in 1930, The New York Times' critic Mordaunt Hall gives the film a mostly favorable assessment, noting that the film is "a little crude in spots" but that "it at least succeeds in holding the attention, the action being fairly good combination of comedy and drama." Variety at the time describes the picture as "mildly entertaining" with situations that contain a "few laughs", although the trade paper adds that the film improves about midway through the story, and by its last two reels becomes "exciting". Variety in its review, however, is even less complimentary about the performances of the cast, which the paper judges to be below their capabilities, singling out Mae Clarke's effort in particular as disappointing.
" Dave Simpson of The Guardian graded the album three stars out of five, but his review was more straightforwardly enthusiastic. He described the LP as "a rickety but entertaining mix of the best elements of his imperial period: tribal glam stomps, razor-slashed T.Rex guitars, two-drummer Glitter beats, knowing homages to cult icons (Vince Taylor and Vivienne Westwood) and sex ... 'Dirty Beast' offers a sweeter, poppier Ant than the glam-punk of yore. While nothing quite reaches the dizzy heights of Antmusic, 'Shrink' – a perhaps autobiographical romp about a man who needs medication to feel normal – is as riotous as he's sounded in three decades. Jeremy Allen in the NME was less complimentary, awarding the album 4 out of 10 and considering it to be too lengthy and too experimental.
338, quoting Sir John Soane's Museum Architectural Library, Soane Case 153, Lecture, V, January 1810, folios 50–51 calling him 'the Shakespeare of architects'.Watkin, Sir John Soane, p. 337, quoting Sir John Soane's Museum Architectural Library, Soane Case 153, Lecture, V, January 1810, folio 52 Sir Robert Smirke was less complimentary 'Heaviness was the lightest of (Vanbrugh's) faults... The Italian style...which he contrived to caricature...is apparent in all his works; he helped himself liberally to its vices, contributed many of his own, and by an unfortunate misfortune adding impurity to that which was already greatly impure, left it disgusting and often odious'.p753, The Dictionary of Biographical Quotations, Justin Wintle & Richard Kenin (eds), 1978, Routledge & K. Paul Charles Robert Cockerell had this to say about Castle Howard 'great play & charm in Hall.
Other reviewers were less complimentary, with Mike Pattenden in The Times writing that "Prolonging the Magic suggests that [Cake] may well be destined to go down as one-hit wonders ... While a handful stand out – the country waltz Mexico, You Turn the Screws and Hem of Your Garment – Prolonging the Magic shows McRea and company to be little more than an above average bar-room act. Cake are surviving on songwriting crumbs". The album peaked at number 33 on the Billboard 200, was listed in The Columbian as the second best album of 1998, and eventually went platinum after shipping over 1 million units. The album's first single, "Never There", hit number 1 on Billboards Modern Rock Tracks chart, and was followed by "Let Me Go" in 1999, which hit number 30.
The reception from drivers ahead of the inaugural race was highly positive. Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton both praised the circuit, suggesting that it would be considerably more difficult to learn than other recent additions to the Formula One calendar. Jenson Button described the first sector as "spectacular", but remarked that he felt that starting second would be better than starting first as the placement of pole position put it on a steeper incline than the rest of the grid. Kamui Kobayashi, on the other hand, was less complimentary, claiming that he did not feel intimidated by the steep climb to the first corner as it was no different from Eau Rouge at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, and accusing the media of hyping it up without precedent.
The story was much discussed by the contemporary critics and garnered mostly positive reviews. The in-depth analysis were provided by Alexander Skabichevsky in Syn OtechestvaСын отечества, 1898, №245, 11 сентября and Angel Bogdanovich in the October 1898 issue of Mir Bozhy, the latter describing the story "as a kind of setting for the environment where the Man in a Case rules". "Nikolai Ivanovich is a perfect representative of the very same world where [Belikov] for fifteen years has been exterminating in himself all those things that rise a man over the lowest, base level of meaningless existence," Bogdanovich argued. Equally detailed but less complimentary analysis came from Birzhevye Vedomosti and the critic Alexander Izmaylov who saw the story as another symptom of the author submerging still deeper into melancholy and misery.
" In a review of Spring Hill Fair, Allmusic's Ned Raggett describes the song's "pounding chorus one of the band's best captured moments of desperation." He goes on to state ""Man O'Sand to Girl O'Sea" was recorded in a mood of, as Robert Forster later described it, "let's burn this land." And burn the band did, in its own soaring, strong way, Forster's guitar reaching a prime post-punk fire and kick, clear, ringing, wiry, but not trying to imitate the Edge." and "The Robert Vickers/Lindy Morrison combination gets as speedy and blunt as it ever did on the chorus, Forster almost spitting out the syllables of the title with desperation." NME was less complimentary at the time of release, saying the band, "seem reluctant to colour their jagged guitar soundscape with commercial poptones.
The Songs and Poems of Molly Drake received a five-starred review in The Independent. Reviewer Andy Gill said: "Adrian McNally’s subtle arrangements draw the maximum impact from Rachel and Becky Unthanks’ distinctive intonations... the most moving piece here is surely 'I Remember', an account of a crumbling relationship aching with regret." However, David Honigman in the Financial Times was less complimentary. In a three-starred review he said: "Not every song is weighty enough to carry the full force of the sisters’ singing, and some of the dappled pastoral feels like outtakes from Virginia Astley’s chamber folk albums". Neil Spencer, in a three-starred review for The Observer, described Molly Drake’s songs, "often as brooding and melancholic as her son's" as "a natural fit for the Unthanks’ poignant sibling harmonies".
The two most popular blends are EAN32 and EAN36, developed by NOAA for scientific diving, and also named Nitrox I and Nitrox II, respectively, or Nitrox68/32 and Nitrox64/36. These two mixtures were first utilized to the depth and oxygen limits for scientific diving designated by NOAA at the time. The term Oxygen Enriched Air (OEN) was accepted by the (American) scientific diving community, but although it is probably the most unambiguous and simply descriptive term yet proposed, it was resisted by the recreational diving community, sometimes in favour of less appropriate terminology. In its early days of introduction to non-technical divers, nitrox has occasionally also been known by detractors by less complimentary terms, such as "devil gas" or "voodoo gas" (a term now sometimes used with pride).
Critical response following the first episode was generally favourable, particularly over the realization of the two cities; Jeff Robson of the i stated it "looks fantastic" and was "equal parts Blade Runner, 1984, and John le Carré at his most downbeat".The City and the City, BBC2, review Jeff Robson 6 April 2018, i Guy Pewsey of the Evening Standard said it was "a clever take on the genre".The City and the City, review Guy Pewsey, 6 April 2018, Evening Standard Adrian Lobb of The Big Issue, in an interview with David Morrissey, describes The City And The City as "a fantastic adaptation of an off-kilter literary marvel" Interview with David Morrissey, Adrian Lobb, 10 April 2018, The Big Issue However Ellen Jones of the Guardian was less complimentary, calling it a "flat-footed adaptation".
Miller had envisaged an Alice "with no stage experience, not very pretty but curiously plain, sallow and a bit priggish"Quoted by Philip Kemp, loc.cit. After advertising the part, he cast Mallik within twenty minutes of meeting her, having asked her (as Mallik recalled) to recite the poem "You Are Old, Father William" which Alice performs for the Caterpillar. Miller's first impression of her was of a "rather extraordinary, solemn child" who proved to be "naturally expressive" and "not amused by anything [she was] surrounded by".Jonathan Miller and Anne- Marie Huxstep, Arena, 31 March 2012 In similar, though less complimentary, vein, the biographer of Peter Cook, who played the Mad Hatter, has described Mallik's Alice as "a sullen, pouting, pubescent with no sense of bewilderment", noting also that, in his view, "the whole piece was strangely lacking in either humour or fear".
Faced with criticism over the morality of hosting a race in a developing nation, Mercedes GP team principal Ross Brawn praised the circuit, describing the decision to host a race in India as "the right one" and pointing out the benefits the sport would bring to the country. Brawn also relayed the positive response to the circuit layout from teams and drivers. Other personalities within the paddock were less complimentary, with commentator Martin Brundle describing the commentary booth as a "cell" with no window and "nowhere near [the] track", while team engineers reported that there was no gas connection available, the plumbing to the paddock was incomplete, and the entire circuit was still being powered by generators and did not have a continuous electricity supply. Tyre supplier Pirelli brought its yellow-banded soft compound tyre as the "prime" tyre and the silver-banded hard compound as the "option" compound.
In 1931, Frederic Paxson and Christian Bach in the Dictionary of American Biography praised Grant's military vision and his execution of that vision in defeating the Confederacy, but of his political career, the authors were less complimentary. Speaking specifically of the scandals, they wrote that "personal scandal has not touched Grant in any plausible form, but it struck so close to him and so frequently as to necessitate the vindication of his honor by admitting his bad taste in the choice of associates." However, Paxson and Bach noted Grant's presidency "had some achievements, after all." Paxson and Bach said Grant's presidential achievements included settling peace with Great Britain, stabilizing the nation after an attempted Johnson impeachment, he brought the nation through the "financial and moral" uneasiness of the Panic of 1873, and kept the nation from breaking up during the controversial election of 1876.
After a March 2012 performance at the SXSW festival, Bryan Parker from Pop Press International said of the live show: "When Youth Lagoon began, the crowd was engrossed from the first note. Though not as physically mobile on stage as SXSW headliners often are, Powers’ blatantly emotive delivery of his poetic lyrics captivated us with its rarity". In his review for Timeout Chicago, Dave Satterwhite was less complimentary, saying that the music was "somewhat dancey, somewhat psychedelic, but not quite anything when the set was over" and that the crowd were "asleep on their feet, waiting for that moment of finality, of happy abandon". Drew Litowitz of Consequence of Sound was much more positive in his review of Youth Lagoon's performance at the Rock and Roll Hotel, a Washington D.C. venue, describing Powers' voice as "exceptional" and the performance as "loud and penetrating, albeit minimal".
Doyle concludes that: Gordon Browne's work over the years was so varied and full, so skilled, and of such a consistently high standard that praise would seem invidious. He was equally at home with character-drawing, action scenes or placid landscapes. His animals were as convincing as his people and his children were realistic and vigorous. Houfe is less complimentary, and states that: He was clearly an artist who pleased editors and in this way there is a sameness about his work which dulls it: characters look very much alike whether they are Besant's or Henty's Kirkpatrick reports that James Thorp, in English Illustration: The Nineties (1935) says that: if he failed to achieve greatness it was due to the monotonous sameness of many of his illustrations, particularly in facial character... Sketchley said that: ... on the whole, the stores illustrated by Gordon Browne are adequately illustrated.
In their book About Time, Lawrence Miles and Tat Wood have equally mixed feelings about the serial, praising the setting and the performances of Barron and Brown, and suggesting that it "...carries on the tradition of putting symbols from the world we know into disconcerting environments... ...(it) completes the grand illusion of making the history and the fantasy feel like part of the same continuum." They are less complimentary about other elements however, citing the conclusion as feeling "rushed and tacked on" with too much emphasis on the Guardians and little on the fates of the Eternals. They also dismiss the reveal of enlightenment as being the nature of Turlough's choice, as coming "perilously close to tweeness" and accuse it of being "cod-mythologic moralising". Enlightenment was placed in 72nd position in Doctor Who Magazine's Mighty 200 reader survey in 2009, which ranked every Doctor Who serial to that point in order of preference.
" Critic Tom Hughes of The Guardian was less complimentary, noting that the album was "not without a few syrupy moments, and it would be a push to recommend it over the old records" but concluded that "there are some fine songs here." Andy Gill, writing for The Independent, said that "Fay has finally created the masterpiece that will secure his reputation" and added that Life is People was "truly, the album of a lifetime." Daniel Paton of musicOMH said that "Life Is People may not quite be the masterpiece so many people dearly want it to be...that being said, there are moments here so sublime and moving that could only have come from Fay." Pitchfork reviewer Grayson Currin remarked that "Life Is People and the tale that accompany it are strong enough...to at last make [Fay's] reputation among many match his legacy among few", saying that "at the risk of overstating the case, Life Is People—the work of a 69-year-old family man, and the work of a lifetime—confirms its maker's own thesis.
In 1961 Alan Clark wrote that relations with the French improved, because British commanders had shown themselves willing to order attacks regardless of loss and quoted Brigadier-General John Charteris that George Cassar called the battle a British tactical success but that the strategic intentions had not been met. Jack Sheldon was less complimentary and wrote that although the attack had shocked the German army, it quickly amended its defensive tactics and that the British had also been shocked that such a carefully planned attack had collapsed after the first day. Sheldon called the British analysis of the battle "bluster" and wrote that Joseph Joffre, the French commander, praised the results of the first day, then dismissed the significance of the attack "" (But it was a success which led to nothing.) The German and French armies began to revise their low opinion of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), the Germans having assumed that the British would remain on the defensive to release French troops and had risked keeping as few troops as possible opposite the British. The German defences were hurriedly strengthened and more troops brought in to garrison them.
Critical opinion was divided. In his review of the work, César Cui acknowledged the importance of the work and its "almost political significance", but was less complimentary about the work itself: > ...choral sonority is exploited with skill and effectiveness; unfortunately, > the higher register predominates... [this] gives an impression of festive > brilliance and magnificence at first, but then lose their fascination as a > result of too frequent repetition... [Tchaikovsky] has brought to his > Liturgy an experienced, practised hand and a sense of decorum, rather than > powerful inspiration... wholly satisfactory and estimable though it be in > itself, [it] holds only secondary place among his other works. Ambrose, the vicar of Moscow, was particularly opposed to the work; he published a letter in the Rouss, in which he asserted that the public performance of the liturgy was a profanation. "We cannot begin to say how the combination of the words 'Liturgy' and 'Tchaikovsky' offend the ear of the Orthodox Christian", he wrote, and asked what would happen if a Jewish composer should create a setting of the liturgy: "our most sacred words would be mocked at and hissed".
The album was warmly received by the British weekly music papers at the time of its release, Sounds noting that "the band are still capable of making a stir", and Melody Maker that they had "gone part of the way [in rehabilitating themselves]". Critics especially praised Calvert, Sounds stating "Calvert, having adapted to his role as frontman, now pulls out the stops, his poetical- lyrical contributions working particularly well", Melody Maker observing that "the band have developed a real sense of humour" and the album "finds Calvert in very fine form as a lyricist", while the NME assessed it as "sci-fi comic book thrills to the proles, only this time around Bob Calvert's psychotic sense of humour is well to the fore". The critics were less complimentary about the progress in the band's music, with Melody Maker noting that the lyrical improvement "has not been matched instrumentally nor structurally. The only musician of note... is Simon House for his consistently impressive violin passages", while the NME stated that "musically it's all battering ram riffs and monoplane synthesised drones, with Dave Brock occasionally cutting loose on guitar (rather than just providing frenetic rhythm) and Simon House contributing some hypnotic violin solos".
