    AtMetacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 71, based on 26 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[6] Stephen F. Kearse of Paste wrote, "Although the bulk of the album oscillates between sarcasm and sincerity, the most fully realized songs transcend that spectrum entirely."[11] Drowned in Sound's Lee Adcock gave the album a favorable review, stating, "99¢ doesn't exactly deliver the discussion on commodity and the self promised on the cover, but Santigold have assembled a fine package, one which showcases White and her undeniable swagger."[8]

    Ryan McNutt of Exclaim! was more critical of the album, stating, "99¢ is an album buoyed by its sonic playfulness, but which fails to shake its playlist sensibility--entertaining, engaging but only occasionally leaving a lasting impression."[9] Jonathan Wroble of Slant Magazine also criticized the album, stating, "More often than hitting a sweet spot in between, the songs here are overly busy (like "Big Boss") or short on ideas (the by-the-numbers "Before the Fire" and the psych-rock "Outside the War"), and the album's title turns into an unfortunate allusion to a warehouse stocked to the brim with cheap toys, none built to last."[14]
