Dani Fromm from laut.de rated the album with four out of a possible five points. In terms of content it does not offer anything new, which is hardly noticeable, since Azad in "Barretta style, spits fire on beats that provide a tailwind at hurricane strength". The contributions by DJ Rafik, who “with his top-class turntablist craft, which has rightly won several awards”, put the crown on the beats are still positive. The guests Rakim, Kool Savas and Tone are also praised.
