AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

With Dirty Mind, Prince had established a wild fusion of funk, rock, new wave,
and soul that signaled he was an original, maverick talent, but it failed to win
him a large audience. After delivering the sound-alike album, Controversy,
Prince revamped his sound and delivered the double album 1999. Where his
earlier albums had been a fusion of organic and electronic sounds, 1999 was
constructed almost entirely on synthesizers by Prince himself. Naturally, the
effect was slightly more mechanical and robotic than his previous work and
strongly recalled the electro-funk experiments of several underground funk
and hip-hop artists at the time. Prince had also constructed an album
dominated by computer funk, but he didn't simply rely on the extended
instrumental grooves to carry the album -- he didn't have to when his
songwriting was improving by leaps and bounds. The first side of the record
contained all of the hit singles, and, unsurprisingly, they were the ones that
contained the least amount of electronics. "1999" parties to the apocalypse
with a P-Funk groove much tighter than anything George Clinton ever did,
"Little Red Corvette" is pure pop, and "Delirious" takes rockabilly riffs into the
computer age. After that opening salvo, all the rules go out the window --
"Let's Pretend We're Married" is a salacious extended lust letter, "Free" is an
elegiac anthem, "All the Critics Love U in New York" is a vicious attack at
hipsters, and "Lady Cab Driver," with its notorious bridge, is the culmination of
all of his sexual fantasies. Sure, Prince stretches out a bit too much over the
course of 1999, but the result is a stunning display of raw talent, not
wallowing indulgence.
