The Shining and A Clockwork Orange were panned by a lot of critics when they first came out in theaters. In fact, some actors even boycotted the Oscars the year A Clockwork Orange was nominated because of its subject matter and the fact that it wasn't nearly as highly regarded today as it was then.
Neither are especially highly regarded today aside from Kubrick fans (admittedly, there are a lot of those)

I liked A Clockwork Orange and felt like The Shining was merely okay. For a horror movie it's pretty standard stuff. The only thing that really stood out for me was Jack Nicholson's performance. Beyond that I never really got the hype.

Not true at all regarding ACO. It's consistently on every critic's list of the top 100 films, AFI, etc. The Shining you are right about
