The website laut.de gave the album three out of a possible five points:
" Because when Ju" In the Club "raps the following lines," Today is the night of the lady killer, the tequila and the Bailys drinker, mothers look for a babysitter, the girls giggle while they make the pilgrimage to the DJ and they flutter their fake eyelashes "Eyes wink", then you suddenly see yourself in the fidget booth. [...] Even if lyrical subtleties are not his thing. Schowi should take care of that, but he is the big disappointment of this record. Except for his very good, original rhymes in "Deutschland, Deutschland", not much happens. [...] Last but not least, the beats are neither really bad nor really outstanding, but mostly kept very variable. Deep primosounds ("Traumreise") alternate with driving electric radio ("Wer"). And sunny club tracks ("Cruisen", "In the Club") meet aggressive going-off tunes ("False One", "Laller"). As I said, with a Schowi in top form, "MT3" could have been a blast. So unfortunately there is only one more work that is just above average. "
