What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker tells someone that others regard them as cool, but only to a modest degree. The qualifier 'somewhat' makes it a hedged, faintly backhanded compliment, granting some social standing without any real enthusiasm. The wording reports a reputation rather than the speaker's own verdict.
