AllMusic[2]

Mariano Prunes from AllMusic stated that this is another fine, typical Mina release with stylish arrangements, and the focus, as always, is on Mina's voice and her interpretation of the material. Prunes also noted that she is magnificent on the ballads, but occasionally indulges in shrilling tones, as if she feels she needs to prove that the famous Cremona tigress still has claws.[2] Marinella Venegoni of La Stampa wrote that Piccolino is the mood music of our bitter days.[3]
