Critical reception
The Guardian called the album an "erudite but musically uneven variation on le rap francais."[7] The Daily Mirror deemed it "one of the funkiest albums you'll ever hear."[4] Skiing concluded that "Solaar mounts a ferocious lyrical attack, arguably stringing together more rhyming syllables than any other MC at work today."[8]
AllMusic wrote that Solaar's "good sense of melody turns the best moments of the album into fine pop-rap that is entertaining even if you don't understand French."[2]
