Reception

John Bush of Allmusic stated "Her solos, though beautiful and contemplative, are short and usually hug the shore. As an overall musician, Elias has sure instincts when playing or singing, and compensates for her lack of vocal strength by rarely lingering on her notes." A Billboard's reviewer commented, "It's a tasteful album, made so by Elias' seductive, husky vocals, the subtle string orchestration and an overall Brazilian feel." [5] Dave Gelly of The Guardian added, "Superficially, this is a vocal-and-piano album - ballads and bossas with light rhythm accompaniment, plus added colour from a string section - but the minute perfection of touch, timbre and timing sets it apart." [6] Christopher Loudon of JazzTimes wrote, "Elias’ piano work on these 11 tracks is as effortlessly elegant as ever." [7]
