This is a roll the DM should make. It's better to not know a rolls number in a situation like this. Very few players can roll play and ignore meta information like knowing they crit failed. It's more fun to play the character in ignorance of that knowledge. Only the outcome.

Eh, it's group dependant - some of my players love hamming up their characters' failures!

That's been my experience too. My players are much harder on themselves with hard fails than I would be.
