Caetano calls it "one of my favorite records", feeling that it reaches a level of musicianship he was unable to achieve on previous albums.[2] It also proved popular with the Brazilian public, due partly to its inclusion of a new version of the old samba "Mora na Filosofia", originally by Monsueto Menezes. It was listed by Rolling Stone Brazil as one of the 10 best Brazilian albums in history.[3] Its success would set up the failure of the much more unconventional followup, Araçá Azul.[2]
