Distinctly hit-or-miss. I tend to rate anthologies more highly, though, since once you've read them through, you can go back to the good ones as many times as you want. And there are good ones in here, no doubt about that. Ursula LeGuin's The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas is a beautiful statement of the utilitarian paradox. There are all the classics: Ray Bradbury, Harlan Ellison, Phillip K. Dick, and of course what's a dystopia without Kurt Vonnegut. There's even a short comic by Neil Gaiman, which you're not likely to have seen in print before. Among the good new ones, there are the depressing (The Funeral), the heartwarming (Amaryllis - yes, a dystopian anthology still has heartwarming stories), and the just plain weird (Caitlin R. Kiernan's The Pearl Diver). That said, about half the collection is distinctly mediocre. Some of it's trite, some's more political screed than story, and a couple are just flat-out poorly written. The editor has a lot to answer for here, between the frequent typos and the insipid story introductions. (The past few anthologies I've read have led me to the conclusion that the less the editor says, the better, with a possible exception for the VanderMeers.) I'm happy to have it, because it means I can go back and read "Repent, Harlequin!" Said the Ticktockman or The Minority Report whenever I want to, but like most anthologies, you need to be willing to sift through some trash to get to the treasure.
