How respected is Dennett as a philosopher?

He's a leading figure in the "new atheism" movement, the "brights" movement, and also said he has "come out of the closet as a verificationist," implying verificationism is a taboo of some sorts. (logical positivism I believe).

He is very well respected by philosophers. You can find him discussed in academic introductions to philosophy of mind, there are articles by major philosophers responding to his work, he speaks at philosophy conferences, etc.
