I find his music extremely idiomatic in its orchestration, almost restrictively so, and that's not something I admire.
However, he has a VERY strong sense of melody, and while his idiomatic orchestration rarely changes from film to film, it's a very good orchestration he has.
I prefer his more raucous scoring - "The Stink Spirit," and "Yubaba" in Spirited Away, and "The World of the Dead" in Princess Mononoke - to his sort of jazz-piano stuff, though I really like his "Adagio of Life and Death" from Princess Mononoke.
