Pretty lukewarm, so far. The first was glad that the 3D wasn't over-the-top, but felt it had some technical issues, and still found the movie highly problematic. The second one isn't crazy about the movie, but enjoys having a Star Wars film on the big screen, but ultimately feels the 3D conversion itself is poor.
Have to say that the way I read that second review link that adywan posted, it seemed to regard it a pretty good overall effort for a 2D-3D 'conversion'.
As far as the 'depth' of 3D balance goes though, it seems from this exlusive 'Episode I 3D Conversion' featurette that George doesn't like 3D That 'comes out at you' from the screen (!)...so I wonder just *how* subtle and 'window'-like the effect is throughout that he's gone for - http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/star-wars-episode-i-the-phantom-menace/trailers/star-wars-episode-i-featurette-3d-coversion-28213694.html
Will there be *any* elements that pop out towards us during certain moments at all to wow the young 'uns, or will it all be like looking 'into the distance through a window'? Either way, not long now to find out...
