Dani Fromm from the website laut.de rated the record with three out of a possible five points. Without a doubt, she attests to Apache 207 that he is good at rapping and singing, but the lyrics are "so boring and worn out that" two-dimensional "would be a compliment to describe them." The variety in the song concepts was criticized.
