Le Devoir[4]

Les failles received critical acclaim. Le Devoir's Sylvain Cormier said "this second album of the most [...] is of a sober elegance, of an exquisite taste in restraint".[4] Addict Culture's Camille Locatelli said that the album is "sort of sensitive diary that she reveals with modesty and poetry", adding that "it's an intriguing mix of chanson française and dream folk", and concluded that "Les failles is a jewel burning with truth, to listen by the fireside or in the dark. Perfect for rocking your fall, so".[5]
