Critics reception

''Poké melodrama'' received generally favorable reviews from Italian music critics. Gianni Sibilla of '' Rockol'' associated the album with the word "heterogeneity" because "she goes from one musical genre to another, often combining them and mixing them until they become one." Although the journalist believed that the singer manages "to attend all these genres with a remarkable naturalness," demonstrating "a very strong musical personality and an immediate recognizability," he stated that in the future the artist "will have to make choices, turn her music into dish with less flavors, but stronger and even more defined." Claudio Tudesco of '' Rolling Stone Italia'' wrote that the project "hints at the possibility that Italian pop can be made in a slightly different way than usual" associating it with a coming-of-age novel in the lyrics that deal with "typical teenage headshots, a life to be understood and invented." However, he found a "heap of authors and producers," not feeling Mango's talent was enhanced in the collaborations, stating that "if they had pushed the accelerator on the search for a more original sound by putting a couple of less pieces, ''Poké Melodrama'' would have been better than it is." In a negative review, Antonio Silvestri of Ondarock described the album "mismatched and stereotyped" consisting of "shameless mix of pop styles in bulk into which to throw different moods" with "immature lyrics". Silvestri focused on two tracks, describing "Gioielli di famiglia" as an "unacceptable banality" with "rehashed orchestral arrangement" and the collaboration "Uguale a me" a "pure cliché between vocals and suffering lyrics".
