Mattia Marzi of
Rockol found that through the album the singer "reappropriates a more songwriter, intimist and reflective dimension", bringing out "her riot attitude; [...] because you can't be complacent all the time". Marzi stressed that "so in focus, she had never been", explaining "in words and music her personal and artistic maturity". Giada Borioli of
Grazia described the album as "intimate and personal, sincere and unashamed", becoming "a metaphor for the work behind this great project that has matured over time". The journalist defined the songs as "naked and raw" and "devoid of superstructures" consisting of "phrases that, extrapolated, lend themselves to being enough for themselves". Alberto Muraro of All Music Italia wrote that
Cani sciolti is a transposition of 'personalities against the tide, who don't necessarily want to fit in with the mainstream'. Although some tracks present an "aggressive" tone, with "sounds with a grunk and rock flavour", Muraro considered that most of the album focuses both on "sweeter and more romantic sounds" and "on the relationship between the city and the province". For the same site, Simone Caprioli gave it a score of 8/10, calling it the singer's "most authentic and interesting" album and "a splendid reality of an increasingly bare songwriting". The project is "powerful for its courage to tell something different and singular in a time of habituation and redundancy" and "full of images that refer to nature in all its forms and to a more sustainable human dimension". == Track listing ==
