Polnareff's is an album by Michel Polnareff released in 1971 on AZ Disques. At the time of its release, Polnareff was "one of the most successful musicians in France", according to The Independent.[1] The album reflected some very personal and serious issues for Polnareff, including the suicide of Europe 1 radio director Lucien Morisse, a close friend, to whom the song "Qui a tué grand'maman?" was dedicated.[2] The album was remixed in quadraphonic for release in Japan in 1972.[3] In 1997, the album was first reissued on compact disc by Universal Records, along with his albums Le Bal des Lazes and Love Me, Please Love Me.[4]

Thom Jurek of AllMusic described the album as a "psychedelic pop masterpiece", "so bloody well-executed and produced, it cannot be anything but brilliant ... pretentious French psychedelic soul at its most garish and essential."[5]
