The first reaction my wife who has never played Monkey Island had when looking at the trailer was "Oh the art style and animation is really nice". I have another friend who is a gamer but doesn't play point and clicks who was tempted in trying it after I showed her. So in my very tiny sample size of 2, people like it.
Personally, I like it, but then, the only art style I've disliked of any Monkey Island games are the two Special Edition remakes.
