Critical reception
Franco Zanetti of Rockol noted that here Mina is more than usually happy, relaxed, melodically wide and serenely smooth.{{cite web |url=https://www.rockol.it/recensioni-musicali/album/2283/mina-succhiando-l-uva|title=Mina - Succhiando l'uva - la recensione|last=Zanetti|first=Franco|date=27 September 2002|website=Rockol|access-date=29 May 2024|language=it}} Claudio Milano of {{ill|OndaRock|it}} stated that although the track sounds like an unreleased song from a Zucchero Fornaciari cover band, it is a pleasant light piece, burdened with some vocal excesses. "And yet one thing must be admitted... how much self-irony!" he added.{{cite web|first=Claudio|last=Milano|url=https://www.ondarock.it/italia/mina-mazzini.htm|title=Mina - biografia, recensioni, streaming, discografia, foto|language=it|website=OndaRock|access-date=29 May 2024}}
