TouchArcade wrote "It's easy to pick up, easy to put down, easy to resume, and a blast to play wherever. But more important than its breeziness, Coin Drop rocks."^[2] AppGamer said " Coin Drop is our new favourite action puzzle game and I can see this game taking pride of place on my iPad for a long time to come. It has just the right level of giddy day-glo presentation, coupled with a great physics engine and addictive gameplay."^[3] AppSmile wrote " Featuring Peggle-like gameplay mixed with a variety of alternate collection bonuses, Coin Drop creates a compelling case for a swift ascent up the app store charts."^[4] AppSpy wrote "Comparisons aside, Coin Drop! is a fun game to play and watch while remaining addictive enough to keep you coming back for more; just the right mix for gamers on the go."^[5]

SlideToPlay said "Coin Drop is a gorgeous game that's a perfect fit on the iPhone."^[6] The Av Club wrote "While the game resembles Peggle in that it's also clearly inspired by pachinko, levels of Coin Drop! are more complex than anything in PopCap's game."^[7] MEGamers said "Coin Drop may take inspiration from Peggle but it's far off from a cut-paste job. At $0.99, Full Fat's platformer is a fun little game that will bring smile on anyone's face, and should not be missed."^[8] Gamezebo wrote "Coin Drop may seem pretty simple at first, but it's a blast and will keep most players entertained for quite some time."^[9] TouchGen said "Coin Drop! is one of those casual games that you got to have on your iOS device. Alongside Peggle, Tiny Wings and Cut the Rope it is both a perfect five minute game, and a great four hour marathon game."^[10]

Destructoid wrote "The mix of the art style, the level of polish throughout the game, and the highly addictive gameplay turn Coin Drop into a must-have for players of all ages. It takes some elements from Peggle and adds a ton of new elements into the mix, turning it into a casual orgy of color and sweet highscore lust."^[11] Multiplayer.it wrote "Coin Drop delivers lot of fun, creating a unique blend of ability and luck, mixed in a game that looks a bit like Peggle. But who cares? With such brilliant gameplay and a great presentation, Coin Drop really stands out in the App Store as a great arcade game for everyone."^[12] PocketGamer UK wrote " Putting a new spin on a combination of Pachinko and Peggle, Full Fat's Coin Drop is a bright, breezy, and enjoyable arcade game mixing elements of luck and skill."^[13]

148Apps said "The gameplay is perfectly suited for those ADD moments in life when you want to play a game or entertain yourself for a few minutes while you're waiting to do something else. This is a fun, easy to play game that nearly anyone can enjoy."^[14] Eurogamer wrote " Yes, just to add an even greater degree of random nonsense, you can shake the device to jog the coin a little, and therefore give you a chance to influence its direction. Once you start employing this tactic, of course, you can't bloody well stop, and so spend most of the game spasming like a drunk with an involuntary tic."^[15]
