Critical reception

[edit]

Paul Cooper of Pitchfork Media said,"Kittin's dull-as-dishwater celebrity fantasies and irritatingly neutral delivery pale in comparison to how Harrison Crump performs in an identical environment. It's the difference between true talent and a plastic knock-off."[2]

The music video for "Madame Hollywood" was directed by Guy Sagy. It features elderly ladies lip-synching to the song.[3]

Live performances

[edit]
