In his review for laut.de , Manuel Berger rated the album two stars out of five. He wrote: "If you know one song, you know them all. Every track has the hooks that make it a long-running hit in the hit lists and can drive people crazy while shopping in the department store with what feels like ten listens per hour. And every track sinks into kitsch and triviality." [1]
