Season 1 - A+. Absolutely brilliant. Everything I disliked about other Supernatural shows (Buffy, Angel, Charmed) was executed perfectly here (except the pronounciation of "Wendigo"...the i is short). Still my favorite season of Supernatural to date.

Season 2 - A-. Just an overall fantastic season.

Season 3 - B. I think they actually lucked out with the writer's strike. If they had a full season of delaying Dean's death, I think it might have gotten tedious. But overall a strong season, though I didn't really care for Bella's character.

Season 4 - A. Castiel's first appearance was brilliant. He walked through every protective circle Dean and Bobby knew, got shot and stabbed, and didn't even flinch. The introduction of the Apocalypse was brilliant, and the plot twist in the season finale was amazing.

Season 5 - B+. I would have loved to see more of Lucifer, but otherwise it was a brilliant season. Jo and Ellen's deaths were heartwrenching - moreso than JW's. Crowley as an ally was exceptionally brilliant. The final revelation of Azazel's brilliant scheme (Sam not only triggered the apocalypse, but he is meant to CAUSE it by being Lucifer's vessel) was chilling.

Season 6 - C+. Sam being soulless was cool, but I didin't care for how the show handled the Campbells. I think Kripke's absence is really felt here. The introduction of souls and purgatory was neat, but Eve was underused, and the War With Heaven never really felt important. This season mostly just felt like a setup to Season 7.

Season 7 - A-. While it feels a little disjointed, I think this season is fantastic return from last season. Sam's hallucinations of Lucifer were brilliant, and Castiel's sacrifice to redeem himself was gorgeous. The Leviathans are a neat enemy - indestructible enough to pose a worldwide threat, but not so powerful that the Winchester's can't possibly deal with them (like, say, the Archangels were). And their plan is great, it's final revelation by Bobby was mind-shattering. Lots of monsters in the show eat humans, but the Leviathans actually want to knock us down on the foodchain.
