According to Mariano Prunes from AllMusic, Caramella is less daring among Mina's recent releases, which included an opera album and some flirtations with alternative rock, but perhaps because of this it is the most impressive, since Mina is clearly on her own territory here–in the field of modern adult contemporary ballads in the Italian style. [7] Claudio Milano of OndaRock stated that "You Get Me" is a wonderful modern adult pop music with perfect arrangements, but otherwise there is often a discord between vocals, songs and production.
