[11][12][13] Andrea Laffranchi of Corriere della Sera wrote that the song has the "delicacy of Ivan Graziani and the panache of glam rock", associating the lyrical narrative with a fairy tale.

[14] Gianni Sibilla of Rockol stated that the song "in essence is another ballad, but with an arrangement that between strings and guitars has a 70s flavor almost Elton John music style" whose lyrics "play with the stereotypes of machismo".

[15] Alvise Salerno of All Music Italia wrote that although the song does not fully represent Corsi's songwriting career, it opens up to the general public thanks to its "melodic simplicity and vocal as well as textual immediacy".

[16] Filippo Ferrari of Rolling Stone Italia reported that the song is among the best productions of the singer-songwriter's career, finding the lyrics "full of images that make one think about life and what a mess it is to become an adult".

[19] It contains numerous references to other works including the music videos of Black or White by Michael Jackson and Walk This Way by Aerosmith with Run DMC and the films The Exorcist, Back to the Future and Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny from which the initial scene linked to the song "Kickapoo" by the group of the same name resumes.
