criticism

The e-zine Laut.de rated Wolf with three out of a possible five evaluation points. On the album, like “ improvised piano notes ”, “ dusty drums, soulful strings and pearly synth melodies ”. The rhythms of the productions “ challenge, drift or lull in ”. Furthermore, according to editor Dani Fromm, the rapper's flow is sovereign, but “ his Depri lecture simply pulls you down in the long run ”.
