Penetrating insight. Good craft.
Up through the mid-20th century magazine art seemed to have a lot more warmth and character. I think around, at least the 1970s, computer generated art (stuff created in programs like Photoshop rather than paint) started being far more prevalent. The change in medium has had a significant knock-on effect in how the illustrations look.
