From laut.de the album four out of a possible five points received. The reviewer Eberhard Dobler particularly praises the refrains, which are "one hit after the other in terms of flow and melodies", as well as the production by DJ Muggs, which "just always gets to the point". The mixture of "hip hop and rock numbers" would "go straight into your blood."
