DCMS的论文“支持艺术的卓越”，也被称为麦克马斯特评论，提出了更多的问题，而不是回答英国文化政策未来可能如何发展。尽管该报告的许多意图值得称赞，但它未能解决与定义、衡量和判断文化“卓越”相关的固有问题，尽管这构成了麦克马斯特关于政策应如何发展的论点的核心。这可能对未来的文化机构产生重大影响。此外，报告的许多建议在当前的政策环境下可能是矛盾的或不切实际的-例如，希望机构承担更多风险，同时增加游客数量并实现其他目标。因此，如果政府的做法没有更广泛的改变，文化的内在价值没有得到重新承认，“卓越”可能只是从业者的最新流行语，而不是未来决策所依据的关键原则。
The DCMS paper “Supporting excellence in the arts”, also known as the McMaster Review, raised more questions than it answered in terms of how UK cultural policy is likely to develop in the future. Although many of its intentions are laudable, the report fails to resolve the inherent problems associated with defining, measuring and judging cultural “excellence”, even though this forms the core of McMaster's argument about how policy should develop. This may have significant implications for cultural institutions in the future. In addition, many of the report's recommendations may either be contradictory or impractical in the current policy climate – such as the desire for institutions to take more risks whilst simultaneously increasing visitor numbers and meeting other targets. As such, without a wider change in the Government's approach and a re-acknowledgement of culture's intrinsic value, “excellence” may just become the latest buzzword for practitioners, rather than the key principle upon which future decisions will be based.
