Critical reception
editAmerican music magazine Billboard's reviewer wrote that this record's appeal should reach far beyond the French speaking market.[4] In a review of Cash Box said that "the artist waves a powerful spell with her dramatic, dynamic delivery."[5] The reviewer of Record World magazine stated: "The acknowledged successor to Piaf's sparrow, Mathieu is a soaring dove. She's superb."[6]
