There are people that argue the action was not a good one because the president did not have the authority to take it without congressional approval. That is just one angle the attack can be viewed in a negative way.
Whether something is good or bad is always going to be subjective. This was kind of my point before we started getting into the minutae. Almost everything done by the administration can be seen, legitimately, as good or bad. It's an opinion.
