Release and reception
CGD released 'Righeira' in Italy on 28 September 1983, with "Gli parler di te" sequenced as the third track on side one of the LP, between "Luciano Serra Pilota" and "No Tengo Dinero". In a 2018 review of the album for Fond/Sound, author Diego Olivas wrote that "on tracks like "Jazz Musik", "Gli parler di te", and "Kon Tiki" you get the sense that all the crew involved really took umbrage to decadent Italy, there outr culture was selling, and they themselves didnt feel privy to." He concludes that "everything on Righeira sounded "off" in the most unpretentious, yet surgically designed way they could." CGD released "Gli parler di te" in Italy as the B-side to "Innamoratissimo (Tu che fai battere forte il mio cuore)" in 1986. "Innamoratissimo" peaked at number six on the Italian Hit Parade in 1986, while "Gli parler di te" failed to enter any charts.
The song has been described as a "hidden pearl" of dance and pop music. Vittorio Papa writes that the song has a "perfectly sharpened and melodic rhythm" suitable for dance floors.
