The internet portal Laut.de rated the album in a review with 3 out of 5 stars. The author Dani Fromm praises the " insidiously oppressive atmosphere " and the " variety in the productions ". However, she would have expected more depth from the two rappers.
At rappers.in , acupuncture received 5 out of 6 points. The author, Florian Peking, notes in his review that the album would fit seamlessly into the compelling discography of Celo & Abdi. There would be little missing from the album, because the album shows independence, creativity, rap skills and humor.
