The reviews seem fairly positive, although most of them seem to be of
the nostalgic "I loved the first one so much!" bent that it's hard to
determine if they are judging this title on its own merits or based
simply on the fact that this game finally gives players a proper
ending (something that was sorely missing from the second game). Those
reviews that do focus on the actual game seem to indicate it is of
middling quality.

Myself, I was rather lukewarm on the original - it was charming but I
didn't think it extraordinary - and very disappointed with the second.
It's largely because of the shadow of the second game that - even
though I bought the series over a year ago - I /still/ haven't played
the third game myself (although I intend to do so... eventually).

I supposed that if you are a big fan of the first game it's probably
worth the price; otherwise, I'd wait until there's a steeper discount
(I got my copy as part of a HumbleBundle deal). I know I've seen it on
Steam and GOG for far cheaper at times.
