DeBaser reviews praise Pierangelo Bertoli as an often-overlooked Italian cantautore. Reviewers highlight albums such as A Muso Duro and Tra Me e Me, his live strength, advocacy for the marginalized, and work addressing social and political themes. The box set Parole di Rabbia, Pensieri d'amore collects career highlights and unreleased material.

"And I don’t know if I’ll have friends to chorus with me or if I’ll only have unfamiliar faces I’ll sing my songs to all of them and at the end of the road I can say that I lived my days."
