stamped concrete - disappointing result

My contractor just finished a stamped concrete project in my backyard (not yet sealed). It looked sloppy: Ridges/fins in almost all grouts, many tiny cracks near joints, and uneven/rough edges, stamped impressions are not consistent (some deep others shallow). My contractor said this is normal for stamped concrete. He also said he will use a special sealer (can be used 7 days after pouring the concrete, instead of the traditional sealer wait 28 days). He said once it’s sealed, i will not notice any of the problems now. I would love to hear your professional opinion.
