Reception

The Allmusic review by John Storm Roberts awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "This 1979 recording is probably Afro-experimentalist Vasconcelos' finest. It presents his various facets berimbao playing, intricate overlain vocals, fine percussion, even gorgeous guitar simply and almost overwhelmingly. This is one of those performances that remind one to never let natural dogmatism get too out of hand".
