Dominik Lippe from laut.de rated sampler 4 with three out of a possible five points. The rappers' lecture is peppered with “anti-intellectual announcements with deep, voluminous voices that are quite similar to one another” and sometimes contains “sleazy sexism”. The productions with “heavy bass” were convincing and were “simple but effective”.
Skinny from the website rap.de rated sampler 4 positively. On the album, the 187 street gang deliver "what they do best: lutes, credible street rap with corners, edges and massive productions". However, only a few songs would stand out from the crowd due to the beat or the singing of Bonez MC ( Millionaire , With Intentional ), as only “tried and tested” content is told. Overall, however, the sampler is "a welcome return to the strengths of the gang".
Steffen Uphoff from MZEE.com wrote, "There is hardly a group that fits the term" gangster rap "better." Overall, he rated the sampler positively and claimed that "Sampler 3 could not ask for a better successor."
At the 2018 Echo Awards , the 187 street gang was nominated nationally for the album in the Hip-Hop / Urban category.
