Critical reception

The album was given a bad review by Interia journalist Paweł Waliński. He called the album an "extremely tasteless, aggressive promotion" for 365 Days . He compared the studio album to "a dwarf that shows up during a pâté feast". He noted that Morrone did not know how to sing completely, and wrote about the musicians who participated in the recording of the songs that they played "in a decent craftsman's class". [1]

In her review Agnieszka Szachowska, writing for the portal Kulturalne Media, mentioned the fact that four songs from the album were used in the film 365 Days. She explained that the lyrics and music of the songs were "sensual, but definitely commercial". She wrote that "the potential was only shown in the last 3 songs of the album". He also described the album as "not too ambitious rock/pop album". [2]
