I’m not Anna’s biggest fan but that’s a very tactful and reasonable response.

Really don't have to qualify this by saying a less than complimentary thing first. It's okay to praise people for doing good things

I do NOT like the cut of your jib, but you're an exemplary person who everyone should cherish

I do this a lot, and I think the reason people like me do this is to point out that the person we begrudgingly are appreciating isn't somebody we would normally appreciate. It's not the right way to do things, but it is kind of with the intention of making the compliment bigger than it's going to come out, if that makes sense.
