It was good for its time, but a lot of it didn't age terribly well. Even comparing it to Superman TAS -- let alone JL/U -- the animation doesn't always look great, the storytelling can have pacing problems, and the acting sometimes falls flat (although it has a really great cast). The one thing it kinda has going for it is that it didn't get into the silliness you'd see in something like The Batman (although that was often a pretty good take, except for the fucking JL cross-over season where I'm still not 100% sure what they were trying to do, whether it was re-launch a Justice League cartoon or something)

Ultimately Batman TAS had a handful of great episodes and it did some great things for the franchise as a whole, but people tend to remember it as being a lot better than it actually was. The show had a few revamps with some style changes which didn't always work, a lot of the stories were a little lackluster, and it had a lot of awkward transitions. However, BTAS was the first series in the DCAU so at least some of that was to be expected. (Shows like Static Shock had less of an excuse for when the quality was poor, although Static was still a pretty fun show.)
