He did not have the strength of character or foresight to pursue needed reforms when possible or to deal with the Revolution when it occurred. His undoing of the judicial reforms of his grandfather cost him prestige and his reign was marked by the increasing strength of the aristocrats, who opposed most economic and administrative reforms.
He was a decent man though, and wanted nothing but the best for his French people, he just didn't know how to provide it and hesitated about every decision that had to be made. He also was a good father to his children and a faithful and (eventually) loving (though clumsy husband to Marie Antoinette. He might not have been the King that France really needed, though he was a good man that due to his upbringing never had any selfesteam and was never taught anything about how to reign a country.
