Natasha Azarmi of Aftonbladet gave the album a positive review, calling the title track "Dom ska veta" one of "Sandén's best tracks yet". Azarmi described the production on the record as "low-key, yet razor-sharp and compelling" and opined that Sandén's vocals are delivered with "precision and confidence".[1] Karin Grönroos of Borås Tidning highlighted "Dom ska veta", "E du där", "Lillebror" and "10 000 timmar" as the best tracks on the album, while criticizing the album's lack of cohesion and hit potential. Grönroos wrote that "the album never feels truly cohesive, simply because the lyrics are allowed to explore so many different angles. The end result does indeed paint an effective portrait of Molly Sandén, but at the expense of direct hit potential".[17] Writing for Dagens Nyheter, Sara Martinsson compared Sandén's work on the album to that of Robyn, noting that the track "Nån annan nu" references Robyn's "Dancing on My Own". Martinsson opined that Sandén "sometimes lingers unnecessarily on the past", stating that "just like Robyn, Sandén also feels the need to process, through her artistry, the fact that she became famous at a young age [...] This preoccupation with the past is understandable, but somewhat unnecessary".[18] Johan Lindqvist of Göteborgs-Posten compared the album favorably to previous releases from Sandén, stating that it's musically varied, "smart, and well-produced as Molly Sandén, even more clearly than before, combines modern, urban pop music with a touch of classic Swedish schlager". Lindqvist described the album as a summary of Sandén's life experiences, and deemed it "a very good pop record".[2]
