Laura Sprenger from laut.de rated the album with three out of a possible five points. She describes Kaos as a "solid rap album", although Vega would see a "change of heart" due to the commercial success of his last releases, which is why she misses the "thick, angry tan bag" of the past. The song Ich will raus mit dir is highlighted positively, while the song Schiess is criticized as the “absolute low point” of the record.
Lukas Maier from MZEE criticized the "thematic bottlenecks" of the album, but still found it to be recommended, because it is exactly what Vega appreciates for: "rough and honest."
