Shawn Conner, The Georgia Staright: "chicken soup for the self empowered soul", "...Rebronja's glass-smooth, heavenly voice...","The old-country textures in "Duso Moja" and "Zasto" keep the disc grounded."
Chad Nevett, The Gazette: " Wonderwall sounds like the love song it is meant to be."
Jaclyn Arndt, Soulshine: "...most of Rebronja's lyrics are quite syrupy sweet, but her music comes complete with a hard edge."
Christine Estima, Chartattack: "This album does what good music should do - make us see old, familiar love in a new way. Melissa Rebronja has a passion for describing ordinary things that are ultimately connected to la vie and l'amour. She is compelling, especially on "Duso Moja" & "Zasto.”
Cameron Gordon, The SPILL: "You don't see enough Slavic singer/songwriters these days", "Rebronja has a solid voice and it's a well produced album.... many others couldn't hold a candle to Madame Rebronja. .. bonus points for including a very sparse rendition of the Oasis hit "Wonderwall" - it's the type of reclamation that would piss the Gallagher brothers right off."
