Scrum is training wheels for agile. If your team were truly terrible and previously had 6 monthly iterations or something you'll be seeing some "agile" benefits which may seem amazing compared to the bullshit you put up with before.

Training wheels do ultimately need to come off, though.

If you were using kanban, TDD, pairing, CI, close customer feedback, multiple daily releases and all that good stuff, enforcing Scrum is little different to putting training wheels on a tour de france team's bikes, patting the cyclists on the head telling them that if they use the wheels correctly it'll give them a speed boost.
