What is the meaning of: All it's cracked up to be?
Hi! Today I made a little test and in one of the questions I saw that phrase. I don't know what does that mean and I can't find a good answer.
I'll be very thankful if you could help me.I have the idea but I'd like to know the meaning in Spanish too. I'd be very thankful if someone could help me with that.

Quiere decir que la opinion de los demas no fue correcta porque la cosa no merece el elogio que está recibiendo, en tu opinión.

I have seen this phrase in Spanish, which I think is equivalent:
No es tan bueno que lo pintan.

"It's not all it's cracked up to be" sería "no es en realidad como me habían prometido" (o "como había esperado").
