Composition.
The song was written by Nina Bouraoui and Jacques Veneruso, while production was handled by Veneruso and Thierry Blanchard. Nina Bouraoui worked with Dion in 2007 on "D'elles" writing lyrics for "Immensité" and "Les paradis". Veneruso wrote and produced many French-language hits for Dion, including: "Sous le vent," "Tout l'or des hommes," "Contre nature," "Je ne vous oublie pas," "Tous les secrets" and "Immensité". On "Sans attendre" he also wrote commercially successful "Parler à mon père" and produced seven songs. Thierry Blanchard co-produced "A cause" on "D'elles" and co-produced four songs on "Sans attendre": "Celle qui m'a tout appris," "Je n'ai pas besoin d'amour," "Que toi au monde" and "Tant de temps". With "Celle qui m'a tout appris," Dion pays tribute to her mother Thérèse Dion.
Critical reception.
The song received generally positive reviews from music critics. Alain de Repentigny from "La Presse" praised "Celle qui m'a tout appris" with lyrics by Nina Bouraoui, calling it one of the best songs on the album, a stand out. Kieron Tyler from The Arts Desk wrote that the most striking thing about "Sans attendre" is its restraint, calling it a "swirling" song that "could have transformed itself into a power ballad, but instead it's about the melody and mood".
