reception
The album was sold over 120,000 times and achieved gold status in Germany . It was at the top of the sales charts in the week of May 9th to 15th.
Despite the good sales success, the album was mostly negatively received by the trade press. Laut.de writes that the album "is consistently reminiscent of pussycat ballads from some third-rate boygroups that don't deserve the slightest chance in the music business." The singer's voice continues to sink into the "choral mash", which makes the album sound "boring and uncreative".
Klaws himself later made a similar statement: "In terms of sound, it was all very shallow and soft - and how do you want to get rough edges when you always drive on such a track?"
