AllMusic[2]

AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "This is a delightful set ... The pianist stretches the songs a bit in spots but never neglects their melodies or the original moods. Well worth several listens".[2] In JazzTimes, Sunsh Stein stated "Joanne Brackeen's passion permeats everything she plays ... Her feel for Brazilian music also seems innate, as evidenced by this recording and its predescessor Breath of Brasil ... The band confidently carries the listener through the many moods of Brackeen's Brazil".[3]
