Jays Brick Blog
“For fans of Classic Pirates, it’s a pretty neat GWP, with the minifigure sporting the same torso as the Pirate Captain from the Creator 31109 Pirate Ship. The design looks to borrow influences from 6248 Volcano Island, 6279 Skull Island and 6234 Renegade’s Raft, as well as... More incorporating some spooky Halloween vibes thanks to the Shark Head cave, and bats.”
Full review at jaysbrickblog.com
BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The Halloween GWP Scary Pirate Island 40597 set is a notable nod to the enduring LEGO Pirates theme, encapsulating the essence of swashbuckling adventure with its imaginative design. Its inclusion of a spooky ruined castle and a shark-shaped treasure cave, complete with a treasure chest and thematic details like a skull and vampire bat, enriches the collectibility aspect for AFOLs (Adult Fans of LEGO) seeking a blend of nostalgia and novelty. While its size makes it more of an accessory to larger sets, its unique thematic elements and the... More pirate minifigure with a raft add a distinct charm, potentially enhancing its value as a collector's item and a complementary piece in pirate-themed LEGO collections.”
 
Excerpts from third-party reviews

About Creator Promotional

The LEGO Creator theme consists of a variety of subthemes that revolve around sets that focus on buildings, creatures, vehicles, robots and recently more specialized sets such as botanical and even the Chinese New Year. Many of these sets have fallen under the 3-in-1 label which include instructions in a single set to provide multiple alternative models. Originally created in 2001 with a focus on larger bucket sets, the LEGO Creator theme has expanded outside just bricks to later include minifigures.

Promotional was introduced in 2001 and currently consists of 46 sets. As of today, 4278 Large Tub is the most valuable Promotional set with an estimated new/sealed value of $94.
