Reviewing the album's CD reissue in 1993, ''[Village Voice](/source/Village_Voice)'' critic [Robert Christgau](/source/Robert_Christgau) wrote:

{{quote|Always ready to go further out on a beat than the other samba/bossa geniuses, they walked into a studio in 1975 and spread nine songs over 78 minutes. With percussion up front and snatches of English on the order of 'Blue, blue sky/Blue, blue sea' reinforcing all the repetitions and nonsense syllables, the renowned lyricists were playing a rhythm game, and they won. They don't just vamp till ready—they vamp to live, vamp for the sheer open-ended joy of it.<ref name="VV"/>}}
