Florian Peking from laut.de rated Bloom with two out of a possible five points. The album gets lost “between flat radio-pop and trend-driven rap in mediocrity. Above all, there is a lack of lyrical diversity and an identity. ”The rapper tries“ a wide variety of current rap music influences on himself, but remains superficial and hardly shows his own inspiration. ”This is how the singles Bad Things , At My Best and Go for Broke criticized as "rippling pop productions". The songs Can't Walk , Trap Paris and The Gunner are bright spots .
