    French Touch unfolds as a warm, stylish tribute to great songs from one of continental Europe's most affecting voices. [Nov 2017, p.98]

    [French Touch] feels like a soft option. Yet there's no denying the chic sophistication with she delivers stripped-down versions of hits associated with Patsy Cline, The Rolling Stones, Tammy Wynette, Lou Reed, Depeche Mode, the Clash and Abba. [Nov 2017, p.24]

    She almost surgically removes the emotion from The Winner Takes It All and Love Letters, songs that demand real passion. Meanwhile, David Foster’s arrangements veer from the flawlessly sophisticated to the downright inappropriate. ... Thankfully, Bruni brings a hint of mischief to former beau Mick Jagger’s Miss You and her sultry, playful take on AC/DC’s Highway to Hell is so incongruous it works wonderfully.
