Critical reception

Alexey Mazhaev from InterMedia gave the album three stars out of five, stating that "Ya tebya ne proschu nikogda" and "Morning" were the best songs on the playlist. [1] Vitaliy Shramkov from Russian Billboard stated that the album flowed more like a collation of songs rather than a single album, however the presentation, lyrics and intonation made it stand out. [2] Konstantin Kudryashov from TopPop.ru expressed a very positive review about the album, with the best songs being "Ya tvoya" and "Ty moy" where Gagarina had experimented with folk music. He stated that she could, with a few amendments, claim the title of "Russian Björk". [3]
