[8] According to AllMusic, "on this relatively early album, Dion sounds as self-assured and mature as on her latter-day recordings as a world-class superstar.

Her voice exudes a passion beyond her young years, especially on the album's rocking opener, "Des mots qui sonnent"."

They also said that "this album spans a wide musical spectrum, including the dramatic "Le fils de Superman", the funk-tinged "Je danse dans ma tête", the bluesy "Les uns contre les autres", and the mega-power ballad "Le blues du businessman".

In France, the album was renamed Des mots qui sonnent and was promoted by "Je danse dans ma tête" commercial single, released in March 1992.

Everything changed in 1993 when Dion's single "Un garçon pas comme les autres (Ziggy)" became a hit, reaching number two and being certified Gold.

In January 1994, Sony Music released the third and final commercial single in France, "L'amour existe encore", which peaked at number 31.
