What is the general consensus on Jimmy Carr in the UK?

I’m an Australian who watches every uk panel show I can get my hands on. I love jimmy, mostly for his panel show stuff but I like his stand up as well. For a guy with such a ‘controversial’ stand up routine, he seems to get a lot of prime time screen time. I can’t think of any edgy comedian in Australia that has the same reach as he does. Is he generally well liked or does he have his critics?
