On laut.de , Laura Sprenger gave the record three out of five possible points and certified Samy Deluxe to be a well-thought-out album that occasionally had a few lyrical weaknesses. Above all, the personal songs were successful.

Dennis Knuspert from the website rap.de described the sound carrier as a “ rock solid rap album”. It is more personal and emotional than the previous albums and the sound is more soulful . Lyrically and technically there is nothing wrong with, but no song stands out particularly.
