Reviews

Giuliano Benassi from laut.de criticizes the record label's release policy, which had already deliberately launched the album, originally announced for spring 2001, in autumn 2000 in order not to miss the Christmas business. He writes that the album doesn’t offer anything new: “The songs are once again about love in all its changes, the voice is still nasal, the arrangements are unchanged, pop à la creme”. Jose F. Celebs at Allmusic says the album contains some of the artist's best tracks. In particular , he emphasizes the ballads , which were definitely one of the weak points on the previous releases, but are the highlights on Stilelibero . So are Un angelo non è , e ancor mi chiedo and especially the last track Per me per semper "breathtakingly beautiful" and the bottom line, the album is simply enchanting.
