Reviews of the album were mixed. Soundvenue writer Kjartan Stolberg was critical of the album, stating Hav had become a parody of himself, with the rapper's irony and humour getting in the way of revealing himself emotionally. Familien, a backing band who were a large part of the album's performances including "Kolding", did receive praise for their performance. Gaffa'''s reviewer had a similar negative review, giving the album two of six stars while calling it Hav's weakest album without any noteworthy hits. The magazine also touched on the irony and humour becoming "annoying" rather than entertaining.Politiken reviewer Pernille Jensen gave the album a more favourable review, with four of six stars, characterising the album as an evolution rather than regression. Jyllands-Posten praised the album with four of six stars, commenting on Familien's performance leading the album to sound like a live performance rather than a studio album. Ralf Christensen, for Dagbladet Information'', called the album "nonsense pop" while still giving the album an overall positive review.
