Critical reception
William Lee Adams from Wiwibloggs said, "The X Factor Italia winner proves once again that she’s a master of understatement: She never lets the music overtake her. She wraps her arms around it and exudes passion that draws you in. Power, she demonstrates, has many shades — including the supple and nuanced. As we’ve come to expect from the Italian songstress, the lyrics are gorgeous."[2]
