OndaRock6/10 [2]

Claudio Fabretti of OndaRock wrote that Dalla's album disappointed many fans because it is a much less direct and interesting work than its predecessor. The melodies seem less inspiring, the lyrics are less smooth and brilliant, the harmonic solutions are more forced. Nevertheless, in his opinion, Dalla's talent is still burning under the ashes, as evidenced, for example, by the long suite of the same name or the more canonical "Noi come voi", which mixes a fast rhythm with an always caustic verse.
