- The online magazine laut.de described the album as boring and gave it the lowest rating with only one of five possible points:
" Provocation was yesterday, the air is out. The South Tyroleans have clearly adjusted their lines and tones. What remains is the boredom of a musically and lyrically equally striking mediocrity, which without the necessary scandal does not leave the smallest trace of its own contour. The yawn plate of the year. […] Frei.Wild's problem is quickly identified: A polished, pseudo-playful claim with semi-acoustic, a little more percussion, hinted blues here and a little ska there half-heartedly pretends a development that doesn't really exist. [...] In the end, unfortunately, there is nothing more left from this disc than the disturbed image of an artistically indecisive combo that wraps its musical uncertainty in roaring platinum bags. A wasted opportunity. "
