Reception
The Allmusic Guide to Electronica describes the album as "a touch less powerful than on Alles" and not as immediately varied. Trouser Press, contrastingly, considers that the album "perfects the advances of Alles Ist Gut". Simon Reynolds, in Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978–1984, describes it as touching on themes of alchemy: "the notion that instead of chasing the profane gold of material wealth, the true quest is for gold of the spirit."
