==Background== In an interview with ANSA, she said, "Vulcano is an emblematic title that already makes sense in that there is something explosive in me and in my new way of making music, a volcano is something immediate, dirty and visceral, which at one point explodes."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ansa.it/sito/notizie/cultura/musica/2017/07/19/francesca-michielin-torna-con-vulcano_31f636cb-bbf8-45a0-bbb1-aa5b90ba5b44.html|title=Francesca Michielin, "Io, esplosiva come un Vulcano" - Musica|work=ansa.it|language=it}}</ref><ref name="Wiwibloggs">{{cite web|url=http://wiwibloggs.com/2017/07/23/hot-like-vulcano-francesca-michielin-erupts-tropical-house-sound-new-single/193668/|title=Hot like a Vulcano!

==Critical reception== William Lee Adams from [[Wiwibloggs]] described ''Vulcano'' as "play[ing] in the space between urban pop and tropical house, throbbing and pulsating with a heady mix of drum, piano, horns and more", concluding that "amid all the heat there’s a strong sense of cool, creating what may be her finest single yet."<ref name="Wiwibloggs"/>
