Images is an album by the Italian singer and songwriter Lucio Battisti. It was released in September 1977 by RCA Victor.

The album is a collection of five songs from his previous album, Io tu noi tutti, and two of his classic songs ("Il mio canto libero" and "La canzone del sole"). All of the songs were translated into English by Peter Powell.

Critical reception

In the United States, the album was considered by critics a relative failure: Richard Williams, on the Melody Maker, wrote of a "watered-down Battisti".^[1]

They criticized mostly Battisti's poor fluency in the English language, the flawed translation of lyrics, and also the disco-inspired arrangements (that, although pleasant, were not able to convey the spirit and all the nuances of the original songs).^{[citation needed]}
