"A pair of discs to warm any Francophile's heart ... Disc one is devoted to an alluring collection of mélodies, sung delectably as might be expected from Von Otter, with finely nuanced support from Bengt Forsberg ... As a foil to this intelligently constructed recital, the second disc explores the world of chanson, Von Otter and Forsberg being joined by a band of friends ... With some singers, this could be embarrassing, but Von Otter has the flexibility to allow darker and breathier hues into her voice ... The arrangements are tasteful and effective ... making Le Facteur one highlight among many in this charming pair of discs".
