unadmiring
Lacking in appreciation
Unadmiring describes a lack of admiration or respect—viewing someone or something without esteem or appreciation.
The word often implies cool assessment rather than active hostility: She cast an unadmiring glance at his work.
An unadmiring audience remains unimpressed; an unadmiring critic withholds praise.
