Contents

A Spanish version of the song called "Uvas maduras" was recorded by Mina in 2007 for the album Todavia . [2]

Critical reception

Franco Zanetti of Rockol noted that here Mina is more than usually happy, relaxed, melodically wide and serenely smooth. [3] Claudio Milano of OndaRock  [ it ] stated that although the track sounds like an unreleased song from a Zucchero Fornaciari cover band, it is a pleasant light piece, burdened with some vocal excesses. "And yet one thing must be admitted... how much self-irony!" he added. [4]
