Perplexity report


Explanation:
Étonnement can be translated as amazement if it is caused by something more or less precise; as the report refers to a general impression, I think this one is better.

Feedback on Impressions


Explanation:
Just a suggestion, since an "astonishment report" seems so strange, but "impression" as a synonym of "étonnement" just might work to downplay the shock.
