Reviews
The album was rated average to positive.
- Laut.de awarded four out of five possible points. The album is praised, but the strong resemblance to Eminem is mentioned slightly negatively.
“In contrast to his favorite enemy Slim Shady, the member of the Smut Peddlers manages without any MTV mass appeal. [...] Cage prefers to tear the mask off the face of the white US grimace with disturbing self-awareness and exposes the ostensibly moral civilization as a dirty, inhuman structure. [...] And although Cage sounds badly like Eminem in various hooks, with the line "... a suicidal failure like shadys ex-wife ..." he finally lets himself be a direct swipe at the Detroit Caress the blonde. "
- Allmusic awarded 3/5 points.
