Acoustic is a live album by the French covers band Nouvelle Vague, recorded at a concert at the Auditório Municipal Augusto Cabrita in Barreiro, Portugal. All songs are acoustic versions of songs from the band's studio albums Nouvelle Vague, Bande à Part and 3, except for "Sweet Dreams" and "Relax" which do not appear on any of those albums.
Critical reception
PopMatters wrote that the album "succeeds where so many [live albums] have failed, by creating a loose and free-wheeling sound which should please listeners today, as much as it appears to have pleased the assembled crowd back in 2009."<ref name="popmatters"/>
