The series received positive reviews from the German press. The taz spoke of a “cliché drawer” and criticized the unimaginative crime story, but praised the good direction and the presentation of socio-political issues. The Hamburger Abendblatt highlighted the cast and character drawings. Der Spiegel online called East West 101 a "series highlight" and a "lesson about the prejudices of a multiethnic western society after 9/11".
