Reception
Dag Erik Asbjørnsen in Scented gardens of the mind compared Acqua Fragile's sound to Genesis, Yes and Crosby, Stills & Nash, combining Lanzetti's nasal voice with "majestic guitar licks" and three-part vocal harmonies. Francesco Mirenzi in Rock progessivo italiano commented that the album "... is noted for the good cohesion of the compositions, close to the most peaceful moments of Gentle Giant."

Augusto Croce in Italian prog said: "A good album with nice west-coast multi-vocal influences mixed with an English prog sound." Jerry Lucky in The progressive rock files said: "Sounds like early Genesis. Two LPs [Acqua Fragile and Mass Media Stars] produced by PFM and it shows in their sound."
