Answer 1

Initially, Mohammed was rejected by most Arabs, some quite violently. However, as Mohammed developed more of a community in Yethrib and was able to conquer Mecca, the Arabs accepted Mohammed's ideas.

Answer 2 (with comments on Answer 1)

Muhammad was never rejected by Arabs as a person. Muhammad didn't call people for some ideas of his own. He called people to Islam religion per Quran revelation to him by Allah (or God and same God in Christianity and Judaism) through the angel Gabriel (or Jibril). Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) before being assigned by God as the prophet was recognized by Arabs in Makkah (or Mecca) as the trustful and the honest. However, when he called the Makkahs to Islam they didn't accept it at the beginning except few people fearing of losing their leadership in the area. Arab Delegates from Yethrib (called later as Medina or AlMadinah) came to the prophet in Makkah and invited him to Yethrib as many Arabs there accept Islam religion that he called for. When commanded by God, he immigrated to Yethrib (or Medina) and Islam was spread there among Arabs. He was attacked militarily many time while in Medina but in the meantime many Arabs of Arab Peninsula accepted Islam until he moved to Mecca and he entered it peacefully without war, destroyed the idols around Kaaba, prayed there, and then moved back to Medina. After that, almost all Arab polytheists in the region converted to Islam.

How were the ideas received by the Arabs?

It depends entirely on the ideas, but, generally speaking, Arabs are very stubborn and intransigent when it comes to new or earth-shattering ideas. Islam was reviled before being accepted. Democracy today is going through much the same process.
