The first 11 songs are accompanied by a small combo of jazz musicians, ending appropriately with "My Way", while the last 3 recordings are a sort of added bonus tracks, with orchestral strings arrangements by Gianni Ferrio.

Critical reception

The Rockol reviewer Gianni Sibilla stated that this is a beautiful record, perfect for this autumn-winter period, with warm, beautifully arranged songs. [2] Claudio Milano of OndaRock  [ it ] praised the album, but noted that this record should be listened to without the desire to resort to comparisons with the originals, given the huge discrepancy in the basic interpretative intentions, as if these were songs recorded for the first time. [3] In 2018, Giorgio Moltisanti from Rolling Stone placed it on the 6th place in the list of Mina's most underrated albums. Moltisanti noted that the great feature of this CD, in addition to the indisputable value of the selected songs, is the gold of respect that shines through from the fourteen tracks included. Mina, in his opinion, interprets songs with measure and thrift, cleansing her style of excesses: Mina sometimes whispers, sighs, dreams, clearly reducing her ego by 4 octaves and 3 tones. [4]
