(TeleMoustique) 'Touchingly beautiful music....in the grand manner…. should appeal internationally'. (Backstage) 'Blanchart is back from never having been away in the first place'. (Humo) '...a serious step towards broad recognition by the so called ‘general’ public'. (RifRaf) 'Under the banner ‘obstinate national pop’, this is thé eye-catcher.... a direct hit artistically’. (Gazet van Antwerpen) '....one of the better albums in recent times’. (De Morgen)
