1999 was met with widespread critical acclaim, and general interest upon its release. The mixtape was nominated for mixtape of the year by
Jesse Fairfax of HipHopDX opined that the mixtape's "careful tracing of long established blueprints gives rise to debate on whether the newcomer presents a worthwhile reminder of Hip Hop's so-called glory days or if he risks placing himself in a nostalgic box".[12] Concluding the review for AllHipHop, King Eljay claimed that, "With a movement and ambition that mirrors today's most successful artists, and a sound that is so authentic and ripe, 1999 is awesome. This is a project that will make any Hip-Hop listener excited."[10] Christopher R. Weingarten was more critical in the review for Spin, calling it, "too often the lounge-iest in the Lyricist Lounge."[14]
