Mixed reaction? I'd say that it actually drew a much more unanimously negative reception then the endings, which have always had their supporters even before the Extended Cut. I've seen people accepting Bioware's rationale of limited resources, but I can't say I've seen anyone who outright liked it.

Personally, while I think it was lazy and the implications about quarian physiology are both disappointing and somewhat ridiculous, I'm honestly not that worked up about it. I could have lived just fine without ever seeing what a quarian - any quarian - looked like under the mask.
