Laut.de gave the album five out of five possible points. In her review Martina Kellner wrote: " [ The album ] is full of Hitqualität, almost screams after hysteria and hype! " Strokes bonds are not to be dismissed out of hand, but the arrangements are too complex, the band alone it to reduce.
In his review for the music magazine Visions Oliver Uschmann praised the " dense, smoky, soulful atmosphere " of the plate. This was also due to the different influences of bands such as Mando Diao, Oasis or The Velvet Underground, varied and versatile.
