Without completely abandoning his folk influences, Jimmy Hunt moves away from the lightness of tracks like "Motocross" or "Everything Crash" to embrace a more atmospheric, dark, and nocturnal register. On Maladie d’amour, we find fewer acoustic guitars, more analog synthesizers, and a hushed, psychedelic spirit that evokes the 1970s. The singer thus embarks on a path that is more international than "Québec chanson," without, however, losing his persona as a charmingly obsessive rogue. Despite a mid-album slump, the record relies on sophisticated sound textures serving compositions skillfully produced by Emmanuel Ethier. Still, Maladie d’amour is not an album to be listened to in any circumstance, as its predecessor was. – Olivier Robillard Laveaux (Voir.ca)
