successes

The album entered the German charts at number 8 at the end of September 2006, where it could stay for a total of eight weeks.

reception

In the review of the album on laut.de , the need for label samplers is questioned and the album is rated as average: This release from Optik is also exemplary produced and professionally mixed, the beats are as smooth as a dewaxed baby bum. All the more sad that they rarely play football. Even the thematic outliers such as "Half-Blood Prince", "In Your Eyes" and "Money World" would have done a little more variety and variety. It wasn't because of the diversity of producers. […] It's a shame: The partly excellent parts of Amar, Ercandize and Sinan definitely have enough potential.
