Philipp Gässlein from laut.de rated the album with two out of a possible five points. Above all, he criticizes the texts and rhymes of Afrob, who is often inferior to his guests in terms of rap technique. In contrast, the beat productions are mostly praised and the guest appearance by Joy Denalane is also rated positively. Overall, however, the album contains "only three or four really convincing tracks", while the rest do not succeed in "sticking out of the mediocre".
