No, it's not wrong. It may change the meaning of the sentence to not be what you expected. I don't think the original sentence intends means "praise", but recklessness, lack of fear of censure. Your strict negative meaning is your own interpretation. Other dictionaries' definitions of the word are even less open to your particular interpretation.
