The album cover is based on The Beatles' 1970 album Let It Be, and three of the tracks are covers of Beatles songs.[3][5] The song "A Tua Presença Morena" is a self-cover of a track originally written for Maria Bethânia; her version appears on her 1971 album A Tua Presença.[6]
Alvaro Neder of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 out of 5 stars, noting that it emphasizes Veloso's guitar, vocals, melodies, and lyrics.}[1]
