AllMusic[2]

Reviewing the album for NME, Paul Morley characterised Alles ist gut as "slimy, steamy sex music", an evocation of "the rubbing, juices, pounding, striving, belching, stickiness ... the smells, the rhythms, the passions, the secretions, the darkness, the tears of S.E.X."[3] It was ranked the eighth best album of 1981 by NME.[4] Simon Reynolds, in Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978–1984 (2006), notes the influence the album had on Morley's later marketing and image for Frankie Goes to Hollywood, a band signed to Morley's label ZTT Records.[3]

In the All Music Guide to Electronica, Ned Raggett describes how Alles ist gut worked musically: "...keeping the electronic brutality that characterized them, but stripped down to nothing but Görl's massive drumming, electronic bass and synth tones, and Delgado's deep, commanding singing."[5] Trouser Press observed that "typical funk rhythms are replaced by industrial pulses (trains, etc.)" and noted the more pop-oriented vocal styles on the album.[6]
