Alexander Engelen from laut.de rated the album with four out of a possible five points. He thinks the solo album "is in no way inferior to the quality of Freundeskreis " and is consistently at a high level. In addition to hip-hop , it also contains many influences from other styles of music, such as soul , reggae and blues . The singles Zu electric and 1ste Liebe as well as the songs Alter Weg and Anna '04 are particularly emphasized .
