"[Massi] is in outstanding form here, with strong songs that recall her early work and a gifted producer, Justin Adams - guitar lieutenant in Robert Plant's band - to bring them into varied life. Opener Dessine-moi un pays (Draw Me a Country) is steeped in north African influences, with a swaying string quartet, but later comes chanson, rock, bossa nova, American folk, all with a fluid backdrop of chiming, chattering guitars from Adams. Massi herself is in troubled but stoical mood".
