Broadway World called the album "pure pop perfection". They said "The album title perfectly captures the mood of Benjamin Ingrosso's surreal universe—a kaleidoscopic space filled with intense emotions and vivid imagery. Each track acts as a chapter in the protagonist's journey, showcasing the artist's distinctive blend of pop, influenced by the grandeur of old-school musicals and the timeless sounds of legends like the Bee Gees, Queen and Elton John."^[10] Culture Fix listed the album on the top spot of their best albums of the year, sharing "every track on the album could stand as a fantastic single in its own right," adding "Ingrosso has reached new artistic and creative heights."^[11]
