Laura Sprenger from laut.de rated Euphoria with three out of a possible five points. Ali As counts "both technically and lyrically to the A-League of the country," but he is on a "fine line between poet and proletarian." So he tries to ingratiate himself with the chart music with songs like Let them dance (Square Dance) . Overall, Euphoria "clearly stands out from the gray monotony," but offers "sometimes more moments of surprise than you can digest."
