Consignment was met with generally mixed reviews from music critics. Jesse Fairfax of HipHopDX said "Overall, much of Consignment reflects the watered down state of a scene where artificial team ups are designed to tackle the risk of dedicated fandom not being enough for East Coast emcees to stay afloat. As Jadakiss readies Top 5 Dead Or Alive, he should keep in mind his natural ability to stand out from the bunch, as accessories aren't always necessary."[4] Ralph Bristout of XXL gave the mixtape an L, criticizing the excessive number of features; while praising the lyrics, he took issue with the beats as "consistently [not] up to par" with Jadakiss's rapping.[3]
