Not that I’m claiming that this is a “reliable review site,” but did you see the [Doper poll](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/2134) that @John_DiFool linked to upthread? The most common rating there was 3 (out of 5). Judging by that poll, nobody here thought it an unqualified success, but the majority found some things to like about it (though there were a significant number who didn’t).
