The journalist described the lyrics as "the journey between melancholic and dreamy atmospheres make it a perfect soundtrack for summer". [7]

All Music Italia, describing the song, noted that it is "a song that tastes of summer and freedom in a journey between melancholic and dreamy atmospheres", calling it "an exceptional duet; [...] in which the two voices chase each other and unite magically".
