" in his 2009 essay ''Not in defense of Armond White''. White has in turn criticized Ebert, stating "I do think it is fair to say that Roger Ebert destroyed film criticism. Because of the wide and far reach of television, he became an example of what a film critic does for too many people. And what he did simply was not criticism. It was simply blather." In 2014, film critic Walter Biggins of '' RogerEbert.com'' penned an essay titled ''In defense of Armond White'', a reference to Ebert's earlier essay. Biggins criticizes White's combative style, but defends him as a critic, describing White as "an important, distinctive, and...necessary voice in film criticism". Biggins states that "He's no troll, and he's one of the few critics capable of noting the inherent—and latent—racism of much of cinema and its discourse... he has provided a rare black voice, and perhaps an even rarer conservative voice, to film/video commentary." ''

Some of colleagues have praised his against-the-grain approach to film criticism, while many others, including a broad swath he's publicly condemned, have been less kind". White has responded to negative criticism of his reviews stating, "If there were a whole bunch of critics who I thought were doing a good job, then I would stop...Because really, the reason why I do what I do is because I think there are things that need to be said about movies, about culture, about the world, that nobody's saying.
