Background

Super Discount 3 marks the first time de Crécy has worked with singers, and combines samples and synthesizers, which Crécy used separately on Super Discount (1996) and Super Discount 2 (2004) respectively. The songs were recorded quickly and constructed so that de Crécy could play them at his DJ sets.[2]

AllMusic[3]
The Arts Desk[1]

David Jeffries of AllMusic opined that Super Discount 3 "electro pops and thumps like its predecessor, and offers a variety of moods" with "crafted bits of cool dance [that] offer instant gratification".[3] Reviewing the album for The Arts Desk, Caspar Gomez found the album melds "fizzing 21st-century electro-pop that's the calling card of everyone from Robyn to La Roux with a bangin' four-to-the-floor club agenda".[1]

Guido Farnell of The Music wrote that the album contains "instantly gratifying dancefloor kicks", and while "Thick beats and rubbery bass are his trademark[, ...] this time around De Crécy has worked with vocalists achieving an almost electro-pop vibe on this release".[4] Michael Smith of Renowned for Sound felt that "the album is full of strong instrumentals with memorable hooks and little tricks to differentiate tracks" with strong melodies "and some curveballs [...] thrown throughout, some great and some less so".[5]
