I personally think Chrono Trigger's story is fine. It has a handful of really strong moments and nothing stands out as bad.
That said, I could easily see someone being disappointed by it if they'd heard it hyped up as "the best JRPG story ever" or something.
I do think that games can have better stories than Chrono Trigger and some games do. I always know for sure that I've played a game with a great story when I catch myself crying. Pic related is the big one for me, I get teary-eyed even thinking about this stage in this game.
I agree with the sentiment that Chrono Trigger is the perfect entry-level JRPG. It has none of the lows of the rest of the genre, while still having a taste of the highs.
