Like any anthology, a very mixed bag. Some stories are incredible, some don't deserve the hype. Quite a few, as can be expected from the time of writing, racist, ableist or misogynistic.
The best ones I would absolutely recommend are Asimov's "Nightfall", Bradbury's "Mars is Heaven", Padgett's "Mimsy were the Borogroves", Clarke's "The Nine Billion Names of God", Bixby's "It's a Good Life", and Matheson's "Born of Man and Woman."

Graphic: Ableism, Animal cruelty, Animal death, Child abuse, Child death, Confinement, Drug use, Mental illness, Misogyny, Racial slurs, Racism, Sexism, Suicide, Violence, Xenophobia, Antisemitism, Islamophobia, Medical content, Grief, Religious bigotry, Murder, Abandonment, Alcohol, Colonisation, War, Injury/Injury detail, and Classism
