laut.de editor Philipp Kause rated the album two stars out of five. He found that "more could have been made of the album's melodic bliss and the clear, stringent, succinctly told stories if Bendzko had invested more time and quality awareness in some rhymes and beats. April has entertaining approaches.."[1]
