I believe Lewis did like LOTR overall, but had some criticisms (especially not being a big hobbit fan or of the poems). In addition to general support he wrote one of the blurbs for LOTR and continually prodded Tolkien to finish the book. But I do think another of the Inklings disliked hearing stories read at their gatherings (Hugo Dyson?).
