Critics' reception
Шаблон:Album ratings Diari aperti received positive reviews from italian music critics.[23][24]
Writing for Rockol, Mattia Marzi opined that the album "represents at the same time a way to take stock and open up to news, to reflect on how many pages have been written and on how much there is still to be written", praising the vulnerable side of the singer and her singing versatility in several music genres.[25] Giovanni Ferrari of Billboard Italia, associated the album with the term "truth," emphasizing the fact that "it must not be easy to share, first with yourself and, then, with others, all that you are. Strengths but mostly weaknesses. Fragility. The desire to be understood, loved."[26]
Mattia Barro of Rolling Stone Italia wrote that although the album appears to be "a record in the middle", because in Diari Aperti "one half can perceive a desire to get back into the game" of the singer, while "in some episodes, she decides to break out of the rules" and in others "she does nothing but be the Elisa we know." The journalist identified "a triptych of tracks" that stand out for their "natural freshness": "Tutta un'altra storia" with "its own upbeat rhythm" compared to the sounds of Max Gazzè, "L'estate è già fuori", a "calypso pop, fresh, all in major" song interesting for "the use of the melodic reiteration of the sung" and "Come Fosse Adesso", described by the critic as "a very elegant composition that refers to the splendid work on songwriting carried out by Riccardo Sinigallia." Barro described the song with De Gregori as "the craziest and the most punk," which, with "Promettimi" and "Anche Fragile", turn out to be made with a production that "grants entire attention to the intimacy of these lyrics."[27]
