Critical reception[edit]

Serhat Tekin of Hürriyet described the album's tone as "classical Sıla style" and named "Öpücük ve Kurabiye" as the song that stood out the most.[7] Writing for the same paper, Hikmet Demirkol stated that Şarkıcı was a "very rich album in terms of musical style" and commended Sıla for releasing an album in a music market that is dominated by singles.[8] Milliyet's Mayk Şişman named "Sek" as the album's best song and added: "The album has a Turkish style on the one hand and a European style on the other. From the beginning to the end, the Aegean seam has been added to the fullest".[9]
