The website rap.de criticized Zwen above all for the little variety of content:

“ When you slide a sound carrier from the guys from Essen into the player, you know exactly what you are getting in advance: mentally ill to borderline ingenious lines and disturbing to almost catchy beats. Somewhere between drug psychosis, late-pubescent messing around and rap ADHD. Unsurprisingly, this is no different on the current record. [...] Musically, the whole thing is relatively similar despite the quite appealing productions [...] and in terms of content, the main topics 'Drugs', 'Party', 'Bitches' and 'We are also a little handicapped' are seldom or never heard of but deviated from her even more. "

- Extract from the review by rap.de

The website rappers.in rated Zwen with five out of a possible six points:

“ Musically, the record is consistently good. Varied, unconventional and accordingly suitable for the three Essen rappers. Really a high density of excellent sound images. [...] After listening to it several times, I can look at "ZWEN" in a more reflective manner and it is still without a doubt a terrific album. But its ubiquitous catchy tune potential also has the disadvantage that some hooks somehow get on your nerves. "
