To some degree. As with many things, there's a spectrum involved. Some architectures are so RISC that no one could defend calling them CISC and vice versa. But there's a big band in between where some would call it RISC, some would call it CISC, and some would call it a hybrid. Each group could probably make a strong case for their categorization by focusing on different things.
