The album was originally released as Robert Charlebois avec Louise Forestier, but came to be better known as Lindberg after its most famous and influential song (#13 RPM CanCon chart[1]).

Considered a classic of Quebec music,[2] it was the first album Charlebois recorded after his visit to California in 1967.

[2] Incorporating psychedelic rock influences, it marked his evolution away from the chansonnier tradition of francophone pop music.

[2] It was also his first album to feature lyrics written and sung in the joual register of Quebec French.

[2] In 2015, the Polaris Music Prize committee shortlisted Lindberg as one of the nominees for the 1960s-1970s component of its inaugural Heritage Award to honour classic Canadian albums.
