laut.de	^[6]

laut.de editor Eberhard Dobler rated the album two out of five stars. He found that "mediocre standard arrangements, boring computer sounds and often a clean acoustic guitar dominate the production [...] Yvonne Catterfeld's love songs fortunately do not contain excessive pathos - her voice rather spreads the atmosphere of gentle eroticism. You can only wish her better producers for her next album."^[6]

Chart performance

Meine Welt debuted at number one on the German Albums Chart in the week of 9 June 2003.^[7] It remained seven weeks within the top ten and was eventually certified Platinum by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI) for shipment figures in excess of 200,000 units.^[8] Meine Welt also reached the top three in Switzerland and number four on the Austrian Albums Chart.^[9]^[10]
