148apps wrote "This puzzle game combines Tetris with physics, magic, and a healthy dose of charm."[2] Gamer.nl said "99 Bricks: Wizard Academy is sympathetic, addicting and challenging. New challenges introduced at the right times intelligently show how much depth the simple ‘build-a-tower-Tetris-game’ can have."[3] TouchArcade said "I think it's something anyone who likes Tetris can appreciate, and that's just about everyone there is, right?"[4] IGN Italia wrote "A very nice and extremely fun variation on the Tetris model."[5] Pocket Gamer UK said "Don't let its visual similarity to Tetris fool you. This is a game that stands on its own very high merits. "[6] Appspy said "99 Bricks Wizard Academy is a jolly physics construction game that proves while we may have problems, 99 Bricks ain’t one."[7]
