reception

The album drew both criticism and praise shortly after its release. The reviewer from the online magazine rap.de wrote that the album was “simply coherent background sound.” Label founder Sido also ran “on the two songs on which he is featured [...] in top form that has not been heard for a long time” .

For Laut.de magazine, the impression remains from the album that “because someone wants to advance to the new cro, with poppy, easy living fuss of a marauder who is on his pants, but is actually a very good guy.” But “even if the beats are almost outstanding, fans of pure boom-bap-rap will probably […] not really make friends with Estikay. "
