Sven Kabelitz from laut.de wrote that: "Aside from a few songs – mostly made up of tame ballads—two teams share the spotlight with Sarah on Herz Kraft Werke. On one side is the old Rosenstolz crew led by Peter Plate and Ulf Leo Sommer; on the other, Konstantin "Djorkaeff" Scherer and Wim Treuner. The clear winners of this duel are the Rosenstolz members, who prove far more adept in the schlager environment with their exuberant piano and string arrangements. As the album is roughly divided into two halves, with Scherer/Treuner taking over the second, there is a noticeable drop in tension. This decline causes the album to end on a weaker note than it initially promised." [3]
The deluxe edition of the album features 24 tracks; one disc with 15 tracks, and the second with nine. [4]
