AllMusic writer Neil Z. Yeung also gave the album a positive rating, writing that "As both a symbolic avatar for her life changes and a strong empowerment statement, I Disagree celebrates Poppy's rebirth as a pop-metal alchemist and unabashed rule-breaker." Josh Gray of Clash opined that "Poppy remains a daring and divisive artist making daring and divisive art, and I Disagree is the perfect shot of adrenaline to kick start a new decade with." Malvika Padin of Gigwise called the album "A true masterpiece in almost every way imaginable..." and "...the perfect album to start 2020 with."

While talking positively about the album, Nicoletta Wylde of musicOMH stated, "with I Disagree, Poppy releases her version of Lemonade; both channelling the pain of her recent controversy, sticking two fingers up to the past and translating her performance art into music." Ali Shutler of NME praised I Disagree as "her most accomplished record, full of daring theatre and snarling forward motion". Tara Joshi of The Observer called it "a cartoonish record that is at once garish, sweet and over the top...enjoyable, imaginative and at times uncanny assault on the senses." Colin Joyce writing for 'Pitchfork stated, "none of the situations she explores are especially specific, but it’s striking...reminder that chaos can be cleansing, that calamity is the first step to starting all over again and building something new."

Elisabeth Woronzoff of PopMatters considered the album to be "a major shift from her previous endeavors...[as] she has expanded her musicality while also challenging genre conventions." In discussing the sound of the album, Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine stated, "the album tosses the singer’s pop aesthetic into the shredder with heavy metal and industrial rock...the album...evokes Rammstein, Sleigh Bells, and Lady Gaga—but it’s regurgitated and repackaged in a way that manages to escape derivativeness."

In June 2020, I Disagree was included in SpinШаблон:'s 30 best albums of 2020 so far.
