Well said.
I don't think they look like shacks during the day, but then I haven't seen them on a super sunny day. I was there on a rainy, misty October day, and I liked the glass - wet and shimmery and shiny. I haven't even seen them at night, but it seems widely held that they look great.
These photo's, found on flickr, by ChrisM70, were taken on a day similar to the one when I was there (it was mistier though)

They look good in early morning, late afternoon, cloudy days and at night. I have wondered about them in strong KC sunshine. My least favorite photo's were taken mid day in the summer.
I still LOVE the massing and relationship to the original building.
The best Ignatius comment -

That noted, I do wonder how many who have dismissively written it off would change their opinion if they visited it?
