Madmoizelle's Lucie Kosmala said that accepting the album is "accepting to let oneself be enveloped by a melancholy folk and delightful for the time of thirteen titles", and also praised the lyrics: "Her poetic lyrics interweave metaphors into profound and even spiritual songs". She also referred to the influence of chanson française in her music saying that "other titles finally come to flirt with the chanson française that one could describe as more patrimonial, but at the same time they're being completely modernized, like "Ceux qui rêvent"".
Le Devoir's Sylvain Cormier praised Pomme's voice: "[...] and that voice with a deliciously porous tone, this voice with an astonishing register that goes from the ultra-acute to the subtle melodies".
