For the sample composition above, a DSLR might have a chance to better isolate the clock tower from its background (by having lower depth of field), subconsciously drawing the eye/brain to the subject without the distraction of the background.
I do wonder whether that is slightly a "24fps movie" effect, though: whether we subconsciously like those photos because expensive-camera and/or pro-photographer photos all look like that, not because that look (while clearly different from the P&S look) is actually any better...
