Reviews:

"Isabelle had initially wanted to cut a pure jazz album at the start. While the end result turned out differently, hearing her beautiful, warm voice in playful excelsis on the Brazilian-tinged cool sass of Romancia del Amor (with some great, trickily arranged backing vocals as a subtle but key element) as well as cool, moody beauties like Je Respire, is reason enough to listen. Cuts like Eclat de Nuit, and especially the vibrant Une Journee Banale a New York City, bursting with mid-20th century vocal vamps and big band arrangements, hint at the album's original plan, while other songs like Memories provide enjoyable takes on more recent dance grooves" (All Music Guide, 2005)
