The reviews put forward by critics about the album in Turkey were generally positive. Radio personality Michael Kuyucu found the remixes in the album successful and wrote: "'Rüya' is a strange song, it begins with Arabic and unison sounds, and is noisy and I think a bit outside the molds. It's a scary song. The Alaturka motifs inside it did not suit Hande. However, the other song in the album 'Öfkem Var' is a duet out of this frame. I really liked the emotions in this duet. This song suits both Hande and Seksendört. I can say that it's a clean rock song. There is a melodic structure inside it, as well as different emotions."[3] gercekpop.com praised the song "Rüya" by saying: "To make the long story short, they have chosen a good song for covering."[4]
