In French, there is an expression that says "public facile" ... means somebody who will easily approve/enjoy pieces music or other arts if they are asked their opinion.

I would tend to translate it to "easy audience" , but does it actually have the same meaning in English and if not, what is the English way of saying it?

You might say "a receptive audience", though that may refer to a momentary rather than a persistent condition. Maybe "an easy-to-please audience" or "an audience easy to please", or "an uncritical audience".

  • Thank you. I feel like I might use "an easy-to-please/uncritical audience".
