I don't think some of the casual sexism and homophobia have aged very well, but I wanted to read up on the origins of the Spiderman and Deadpool team ups and in that it did a decent job.

I really liked this collection! I didn't care for the first story but I loved all of the rest of them.

This isn't a cohesive volume with one storyline - and I knew that going in so it wasn't a problem while I was reading. Rather, this is a collection of previously published episodes giving insight into the past history that Deadpool and Spider-Man have with each other.
As with any such collection, the quality of the art and writing varied between issues. The story which starts the volume felt dated in terms of both art and writing. It contained some of the less entertaining, more problematic aspects of Deadpool's character. However, it also had some legitimately entertaining aspects as well. And even with varying writers and artists, this was a consistently entertaining read.
The strange relationship that Deadpool and Spider-Man have had is always interesting. There are times - hit monkey and a giant, freaky mouse villain - that the stories included here branch into more absurd goings-on, but the wit, humor, and excitement keep things engaging through the insane and the serious.
Overall, it's a mixed but generally positive volume that provides more of a backstory overview of the two characters' interactions rather than telling a story of its own. That being said, it's easy enough to pick up as a stand-alone as there isn't a ton backstory necessary to understand the episodes contained here.
