I do enjoy Dan Slott's writing when it comes to Spider-Man, and this reads as sort of a pre-curser to Spider-Verse. Everyone being trapped in Manhattan as a spider virus rampages through the city lends itself to some fun moments, especially for Peter as he's trying to hide his own identity. Ramos isn't my favorite artist, though, so the art wasn't always it for me. But overall, definitely a fun Spider-Man story.
