The Admiral said it was an "OK 2" or "OK 3" wire landing. I couldn't tell from the resolution, but it looked like a good landing to me.

Every carrier landing is recorded and graded. A perfect landing is considered "OK." Anything less is marked down. The scores are posted in the pilot ready room and are a point of major bragging rights.
