The album received mostly negative reviews.

  • The website laut.de gave the album the lowest rating out of a possible five points and criticized the production, refrains and guest contributions:

"The fact that the" anti-social version of Dieter Bohlen "knows how to deal with words and rhyme structures [...] is of course nothing new. It's just stupid when productions and hooks get so sick as on "JGUDZS". [...] The completely pressureless, barely contemporary and often nerve-wracking synthetic plastic garbage that the first tracks generate, already culminates in "Kokain Cowboy". [...] Before the main actor, who sometimes sounds as if he has recorded his parts in the hamster wheel, actually needs an oxygen tent because of the hoarse hectic pace, he simply reduces the heavily advertised hardness to zero. "What Happend Last Night" sounds [...] like a mixture of "Can't Hold Us" and Kay's next RTL II format. [...] With his chorus, which could easily pass as a merci jingle, Xavier Naidoo gives the already terribly clichéd piano ballad "Leb This Life" a complete knock-out, which was already looming with the second half of the album. [...] Of course, Kay One remains a talented rapper. That he again sacrifices his skills to bad beat picking, sometimes extremely embarrassing texts and gruesome features, probably only he himself understands. "

- Excerpt from the review by laut.de.
  • The production of the album and the sometimes contradicting song content are also criticized on rap.de :

“The guy still knows his trade. Kay can simply rap and unpacks the full range of flow techniques and rhymes-free rhyming patterns right from the start. [...] The instrumentation itself, however, sometimes seems very overloaded and synthetic, which makes the songs, paired with Kay's hectic flow, very exhausting. Unfortunately, the synth guitars, which are supposed to be something of a trademark, have not saved either. [...] The content sounds unmotivated and repeats itself over and over again - even the motifs that are representative of the beloved lifestyle. But other songs are also creeping in: 'From Monday to Friday' is an attempt to reflect on the dark side of lifestyle. However, this happens with an outrageously blatant Leiden-am-Success attitude, which ultimately leads to the fact that Kay is satisfied with the way it is. But all of this happens so superficially that it is inconsistent rather than reflective. [...] If this is followed by 'Leb this life' with Xavier Naidoo, who preaches' show your respect, bow 'down deeply', which completely inconsistently contradicts the arrogant, irreverent and materialistic content of the first half of the album, then it becomes hypocritical. The whole song is so cheesy and unbelievable that the whole stringency of the 'old, anti-social Kay', which was advertised in advance, is taken out of the sails. "

  • MZEE magazine criticized the album for its superficial content and productions:

“The rapper delivers impressive rhymes as well as flawless double-timepassages. But on the fourth album by the Ravensburger, these quickly become a pleasant addition to a project that is otherwise weak in all respects. In terms of content, the record, although packed with 19 tracks, has extremely little to offer. The cheeky swipes against ex-mentor Bushido and Co. still provide the greatest entertainment here. Otherwise, Kay moves between stupid punchline tracks without big surprises and ingratiating pop attempts, which are probably explicitly aimed at his RTL2 listeners. In keeping with this, they rummaged deep in the plastic beat box and pulled the most inorganic synthie Schmonzetten ashore. This approach finds its climax on "What happened last night" - a forced mainstream song par excellence. Beat and structure clearly copied from Macklemore's "Can't hold us", this track with the simplest party lyrics and a blunt "Oh, oh, oh" chorus provides the soundtrack for the undemanding village disco. Serious rap music definitely looks different. "
