The album received mostly mixed reviews.
At the e-zine laut.de the album was rated three out of five possible stars. The beats of the producer Jambeatz are "cleanly produced" . Maxwell gave "incessantly Reims volleys and sketched the familiar picture of the notorious gang" . Nonetheless, he says, “no cliché, no matter how worn, is left unserved” . Accordingly, the "listening pleasure as well as recognition value" decrease.
The editors of the hip-hop magazine Backspin are mostly positive. So "despite the high pressure of expectations [...] the first album is very good for a long time" . But from the rapper Maxwell "you search in vain for experiments or a completely unique sound" .
From the point of view of the editor Gilbert Nagel of the hip-hop blog rap.de , Maxwell is "not quite sure where his strengths lie or what his unique selling point is" . The songs stay with a "balance of hardness and humor in the head" .
MZEE editor Lukas Maier, on the other hand, thinks that “not every problem area can be eradicated only through the routine presentation, but it helps that" Kohldampf "remains in the memory as a rock-solid record." Summa sumarum it is "a record that does not reinventing the wheel, but doing right what was important: entertainment. "
