The album's cover art became a viral internet meme with "happy" Chico and "sad" Chico. [2] Buarque explained in an interview October 2019 that he wanted a photo that would project the image of a serious composer, while the record company, Rádio Gravações Especializadas, wanted a photo of him smiling, and that the result is what it is. [3] Laughing, Buarque noted that whenever he sees the cover—as a meme or not—he thinks to himself: "How absurd is this." [3]
