Critics reception
Marinella Venegon of La Stampa described the song as "a philological project" with musical references to "the Motown world and echoes in Mina's art of the early 1960s."[4] Andrea Scanzi of Il Fatto Quotidiano wrote that the singer presents a "boisterous voice" on a song with "stanzas steeped in 'committed' rhetoric" finding it a pretext to "perpetually prove to the world that 'she's not just De Filippi's."[5]
Veronica Valli of Fanpage.it appreciated the duet version with Alessandra Amoroso presented during the Festival, writing that "the double voice absolutely benefits the interpretation of this song, which turns out to be really beautiful. Very good both of them, they interpenetrate great."[6]
Music video
The music video for the song, directed by Marco Salom, was released on February 15, 2012, through the singer's YouTube channel.
