The website laut.de rated the album with five out of a possible five points:
" Hands up! This is an attack! ”By Massive Tönen from the Stuttgart collective farm. Not a threatening 'attack', but the rappers' third album with an ambiguous title. No gang starap with weapons, but one with words at a concert. [...] "Not just compliments, we have the right ambience, the mix, the drinks." That is not self-praise, but a fact. Everything just fits, the instrumentals, rhymes and the guests. "
