In the review on AllMusic, Judith Schlesinger noted "This release combines the elegant swing of nine-time Grammy-winner Kenny Barron with the first-call Brazilian rhythm section of Trio da Paz, an inspired cross fertilization that enhances both jazz and tropical elements ... This is an exceptionally well-paced, melodic, spirit-lifting CD. Recommended".[6] On All About Jazz, Dave Nathan wrote "On this his latest release, Barron has returned to his love affair with the Brazilian genre which he first cataloged in his 1993 release Sambao ... he is joined by a group of contemporary Brazilian jazz artists musicians who, like him, have an ingrained feel for these unique rhythms and melodies".[8]
