Well, late-period Godard has constantly, always gotten bad reviews from everyone but the French press; the same French press who recognize Slow Motion (his best film), Keep Your Right Up!, In Praise of Love, Oh Woe Is Me, Hail Mary, Notre Musique, etc. as absolute breathtaking works of IMPORTANT art.

I think the big thing is, a lot of critics just flat-out don't understand Godard's work and they usually spend half the review writing a few of the technical processes behind the work, or the history of Godard, or talk about whatever Godard's got going on in his personal life.. rather than reflect on the film itself.
