The website laut.de gave the album the worst rating out of a possible five points and especially criticized the lyrics:
“Label mastermind Moses Pelham didn't exactly smear himself with fame on his last release - now he's also responsible for the 'music and lyrics' of most of the tracks on Sabrina's new record, which he didn't get very well. So if you have already suffered with Moses before, you will also like this work. Everyone else will regret the missed chance and ask with the reviewer: Sabrina, why are you doing this to me? [...] "Most would like to see me lying on the ground": On the contrary, dear Sabrina, most see you as the light figure of German rapeseed, an art form that comes from the streets and that has always dealt with the weak Has dealt with troublesome and laden people and doesn't give a shit what luxury bowl you drive and what champagne you drink. "
