laut.de editor Sven Kabelitz found that "there is nothing really interesting or even surprising on the fifth July album. Der Sommer ist vorbei offers what you expect: plainly arranged everyday pop-rock, which only stands out compared to other acts in the genre thanks to its melancholy, which is deeply rooted in the music. With each additional song it becomes clear how interchangeable the previous one was and how little the band has to offer lyrically. Ultimately, this once again illustrates what it was all about in 2004. Seen this way, they are returning to their old strength."[2]
