Laut.de editor Nkechi Uzoma rated the album four out of five stars. She wrote that Mamani "has a lot to offer musically and lyrically. Swinging, pulsating, original and goes to the core and soul. An album that clearly stands out in the little-scoured market of good German soul. Great soul with a great voice. Anyone who continues to give Joy Denalane only a questioning look is either blind, deaf or to blame."
