    Produced by David Foster, it’s largely tremendous fun, even if the path on which it walks is rather well worn.

    The songs on French Touch are idiosyncratic and free of drama. But they are chock-full of tenderness; Bruni delivers them with keen insight into the lyric meanings these melodies convey.

    [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]

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

    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.
