The Penguin Guide to Jazz noted "Surprisingly, it's a rather reserved and thoughtful set under all the noise and bustle".[3] AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Although one would not think that Brackeen's percussive and adventurous style would sound comfortable playing softer Brazilian pieces, the pianist modified her style a bit and shows surprising flexibility. This is a delightful set".[2] On All About Jazz, William Grim stated "Joanne Brackeen is an excellent jazz pianist who deserves much wider recognition. Breath of Brasil is a good introduction to this fine performer, and if you’re already a fan it’s another 'must have' for the cd collection".[4]
