" The results are indubitably a mixed bag, but the whole thing comes off quite a bit better than you might think, and it will stick in your head rather than evaporating like so many similar products ... Quirky indeed but recommended".

"Vurdering: Cd der Woche" - "Zärtlich, poetisch, melancholisch und auch mal lebensfroh - so klingen die Songs auf dem neuen Album von Natalie Dessay, das sie in speziellen Arrangements mit dem Paris Mozart Orchestra aufgenommen hat, das unter Claire Gibault sehr einfühlsam den atmosphärischen Teppich webt".

"The entire two-disc set is inpired by Hopper ... Dessay finds a new way of singing born of quiet conversations in private rooms ... The problem I have with the song performances is that the confidential tone - and indeed the colour of the arrangements - is too unvaried ... Fans of Dessay and seekers of the unusual will want this; lovers of the American Songbook and/or Hopper's art should approach with caution".
