The opening track, "Canção Agalopada", features soprano Maria Lúcia Godoy and was based on a poem by Ramalho which was featured in his 1977 book Apocalipse (Apocalypse), and which uses the cordel forms martelo agalopado ande galope à beira-mar.[2][3] From this same book, Ramalho developed the trilogy "Beira-Mar", "Beira-Mar – Capítulo II" and "Beira-Mar – Capítulo Final", which appear, respectively on the albums A Peleja do Diabo com o Dono do Céu (1979), A Força Verde (1982) and Eu Sou Todos Nós (1998).[4][3]

In an 2020 analysis for his blog at G1, Mauro Ferreira called the album "incisive", but compared it unfavorably to Ramalho's two previous efforts.[5]
