For the first time in almost twenty years, the singer released an album consisting of only one disc; previously, Mina's albums were released in two parts: the first consisted of cover versions, and the second contained original tracks, this album consists entirely of new songs. The name of the album Cremona is a reference to the city of Cremona, where the singer spent her childhood. When making the album, photos of Mina in a Versace outfit posing against the background of night Cremona were used.[3]
The album received positive reviews from critics, who praised the atmosphere, the successful mixing of styles and genres, the lyrics and of course Mina's vocal abilities.[4][5][6][7] The album also reached the second position in the weekly album chart of Italy and stayed there for 19 weeks.[8] Sales of the album exceeded 500 thousand copies.[9]
In the same year, the album was reissued in a deluxe edition of Natale 1996, which also included the album Napoli.
