From a critical point of view it's bad. However you may like it. First 2 episodes are good and the rest is... ugh...

Yes, personally, I liked it. Especially Sword Art Online I. The fights and animations are smooth and decent. Characters are well developed. Good plot.
What I didn't like was season two of it. The plot seemed random after the first arc. It's as if they were just filling in with episodes to finish the series.
I overall give it 8.7/10

It's really not that great, animation, music and overall environment are nice and remind me of the .Hack Series ..
However after about 10 episodes the anime takes this turn of .. well .. Romance shit every episode.

It's great... But if you expect what you see in the title, then you might get a little disappointed...
But it's very nice...

I think the first season is by far better than the rest, which makes the latter part somewhat disappointing, but not bad.

But don't watch it unless you like a great romance with plenty of action, it's practically a love story. But that doesn't get in the way of the interesting plot, as the two actually move the story along together.

It all matters on taste, a lot of people like it(including me) and a lot of people dislike it. Best way to know for sure is to try it yourself.

From episode 1 to 14 = Good.

From episode 15 - 23 = The ugly.

Episode 24 = Good.

Season 2 = Amazing.

If you want a show where every female character gives romantic attention to the protagonist, you may like it. The story was not bad, but the show itself focused on so much frivolous and pointless side stories that it is not worth watching in my opinion. It just wasn't a good show.

If that's the 2nd arc, then we are on the same page but that I just don't hate it that much... ;)

Yeah, that was really disturbing...
And it hadn't that cool action and 'love' like in real SAO.

This.
It depends on your tastes but still, I highly recommend it.

SAO is actually pretty decent in my book. Even if it isn't in my top favorite.

They should have kept going through the floors, defeating boos, the second arc that includes fairy tail crap was boring.
