Day69 received mixed reviews from music critics. In a negative review,Charles Aaron of Rolling Stone stated that Day69 is "a grim dud. Unlike similarly cartoonish figures,like Onyx or Waka Flocka Flame,6ix9ine flashes no humor or attempts at phrase-making or,um,songwriting. His overly reverbed flow is little more than an uncontrolled gusher of bullying faux-menace." [17] Daniel Offner of Salute Magazine stated that "in terms of carrying its own weight,the album delivers with direct effect",adding that Day69 "comes to close with a full mag and one in the chamber." [18]
Online publication HotNewHipHop criticized the mixtape's production and lyrical content,considering the project to be formulaic:"All things considered,DAY69 is a staggering failure of artistic statement,especially for a rapper seeking to prove his worth to the rap game. Whether it's the unremarkable production,his own limitations as a rapper,or the severe drop in quality beyond the singles,there's not much going on to justify his existence in the rap game beyond an unfortunate habit of generating negative attention." [16]
Trent Clark of HipHopDX believed the mixtape provided a refreshing return to hardcore hip hop,also stating:"Of course,even with the short runtime,there's only so much bellowing and make-believe bodycounting listeners can take before they openly admit they don't want any more smoke. A kick-in-the-door project like Day69 is ripe for establishing a rap game motif but does little to crack the mystique surrounding the mind underneath the multi-colored mane." [15]
Day69 debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200 chart,earning 55,000 album-equivalent units (including 20,000 traditional album sales) in its first week. [19] In its second week,the album fell to number ten on the chart,earning an additional 24,000 units. [20] On May 8,2018,the mixtape was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over 500,000 units in the United States.
