"He did not receive a good critic."

Translation: Il n'a pas reçu une bonne critique.

[shimself]

there is no such thing as a good critic (joke Oscar Wilde style), and one never lets them pas the door, which would be the only way to receive a critic.
Critique is ok in english. Review would be the best word

[Wandini]

I agree with shimself...a good critique or review would be acceptable en anglais.

[Betty45]

I agree; a critic is a person, a critique is a thing (and usually stated as a review in this case). Loved the Oscar Wilde reference!
