Generally well received by critics, it was very successful and remains to date the second best-selling album of the singer.
 
== Background ==
After the success of the album ''[[Cendres de lune]]'' and the hits "[[Sans contrefaçon]]" and "[[Ainsi soit je... (song)|Ainsi soit je...]]", Farmer had no problem releasing a second album that would be well received by the public, enabling her to consolidate her growing popularity, thus preventing her from slipping back into anonymity. The album took from five to six months to be finished.<ref>{{cite journal |title=none|journal=Pulsion |date=May 1988 |language=Frenchfr}}</ref> It was recorded at studio Mega, Avenue Maréchal-Maunoury, in [[Paris]] ([[16th arrondissement of Paris|XVIe arrondissement]]) under the leadership of Thierry Rogen, a renowned sound engineer who had already worked in particular with [[Michel Sardou]].<ref>[[#Violet|Violet, 2004]], p. 93.</ref>
 
The cover of the album shows Farmer turned sideways, accompanied by the puppet used in the music video for "[[Sans contrefaçon]]". The photographs of the booklet were made by Elsa Trillat.
