Critical reception

The video received mixed reviews. The editors of the site Vírgula, from UOL said: "Wanessa continues strong in its goal of becoming the great diva of the Brazilian LGBT.

For those who do not know, "Ram-hair" is the nickname given to the type of house with female vocal pop ballads popular gay. Accompanied by eight dancers and colorful special effects, the video has everything to consecrate Wanessa in various segments of the public." [7]

Already the site has made three three Chick criticism, saying that "Wanessa, the "American singer from Brazil". (...) Truth be told, she has done things properly, all well produced. But still lack a bit of salt, right? Music videos, dances, songs too bureaucratic. She needs a little innovation ...". [8]
