Reviewing the album's CD reissue in 1993, Village Voice critic Robert Christgau wrote:

Always ready to go further out on a beat than the other samba/bossa geniuses, they walked into a studio in 1975 and spread nine songs over 78 minutes. With percussion up front and snatches of English on the order of 'Blue, blue sky/Blue, blue sea' reinforcing all the repetitions and nonsense syllables, the renowned lyricists were playing a rhythm game, and they won. They don't just vamp till ready--they vamp to live, vamp for the sheer open-ended joy of it.[2]

AllMusic's John Bush believed it was by far the best album in Gil's discography.[1] In 2007, it was listed by Rolling Stone Brazil as one of the 100 best Brazilian albums in history.[3]
