Critical reception
Music journalist Mauro Ferreira, in his blog on G1, gave the album a positive review, rating it four stars out of five, and noted that "this repertoire, as simple as it is captivating, reappears wrapped in a contemporary sound that deviates from the modern indie track."[14] In an open letter from producer Marcelo Fróes published in the Rio de Janeiro newspaper O Globo, Froés highlighted: "I thought the concept of your new album and your statements about Jovem Guarda were sensational. I never thought that you and/or Roberto Carlos had any responsibility to defend Jovem Guarda as a ‘movement’, as a musical style or as a generic term for artists of so-called youth music."[15]
Germana Macambira, writing for the newspaper Folha de Pernambuco, gave a favorable review of Erasmo's work, adding: "Just the right amount of warmth and with the necessary appeal for a good old-time rocker, the album reflects how much Erasmo Carlos is still carried by music, although it is unnecessary to prove his timeless effervescence, ingrained in his more than five decades as an artist and composer of hundreds of songs that accompany and span generations."[16]
Accolades
The album was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award in 2022.[17] At a ceremony held at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas, United States, the album won in the category of Best Portuguese Language Rock or Alternative Music Album, just five days before the singer's death.[18][19]
The following year, the work was nominated for the Brazilian Music Award.[20][21] At a ceremony held at the Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, he won the category of Best Pop/rock release.[22]
