Lebensraum! received generally positive reviews from Swedish music critics. The Swedish website, Kritiker, which assigns a normalised rating out of 5.0 to reviews from mainstream critics across the country, gave the album an average score of 4.1, based on 16 reviews.[8] Per Magnusson of Aftonbladet highlighted "Ny / snö" as the best track on the record, and opined that on "Lebensraum!", "Jonathan Johansson dares – and wins".[5] Anders Nunstedt of Expressen considered the album's theme to be politics, and that the "music on it is densely packed with words, smartly crafted and sharply aimed at neo-fascism and narrow-mindedness in society. An album as important as it is beautiful".[6]
