"Toto Cutugno said that everyone sings in Italy. Eros Ramzzotti is someone who sings very well. His unique Italian country voice is one of the things that he knows how to turn to his advantage. All songs on this album are good. There is melody, rythm, and inspiration in them. It is no accident at all that Eros Ramzzotti is an Italian phenomenon with a world-wide appeal."
Eros' best studio CD

"I have been a Ramazzotti fan for over 12 years and own all his albums. Dove C'e Musica is my all time favorite. It's his most mature and musically complex release and stands above his earlier work (which is great in its own right) and his latest effort Stile Libero (which is a solid 4 stars). The studio version of Io Amero is sensational but it's worth checking out the acoustic version in the live album (which is my second favorite album). L'Aurora and Quasi Amore are two of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Lei Pero has a great bass line. Stella Gemella is intriguing. Basically this is a CD you listen beginning to end, it's that good. I must admit a heavy bias towards his Italian versions, for some reason the Spanish ones just don't do it for me. In any event, this is a very well produced album and stands out as his best."
Absolutely Fabulous!

"This was my first Eros Ramazzotti CD purchase. The songs are incredible! His voice is awesome, not to mention the beautiful lyrics and musical arrangements. Eros' many awards is a testament to his extraordinary talent. If you want a modern,expressively beautiful Italian ballad, listen to L'Aurora (the dawn) named after his daughter. From then on, check out his other CD releases. You'll discover that his ENTIRE COLLECTION is indispensable. Somehow makes you wish you were Italian. A truly remarkable person."
Art in Any Language

"I listened to this album a lot during the months that I spent working on my dissertation. It inspired me, allowed me to forget about the drudgery of the research I was doing, and simply reminded me about what good art really is--a universal language of aesthetic rapture. Unfortunately, I cannot give this album more than five stars. I finished the dissertation in record time, and now the research that went into it has become the basis for my new book. Are these Italians inspirational or what? When I lived behind the iron curtain, Cutugno, Celentano, Al Bano & Romina helped me through the dull, boring gray Soviet reality. Ramazzotti helped me through misunderstandings, professional jealousies, pseudo-morality, and idiotic, stale scholasticism I was forced to exist in at times. His album also reminded me to remain true to my creative side and to trust my heart."
