"Little disappoints about this early meeting of the masters; A Música de Edu Lobo por Edu Lobo positively shines, with the haunting harmonies and crisp musicianship of the Tamba Trio providing the perfect framework for Lobo's dark, earnest leads. "Reza" and "Resolução" are swinging knockouts in league with the Tamba Trio's finest moment, "Mãis Que Nada." Eça's arrangements (best of which is the opener, "Borandá") are bright, imaginative, and possessing a Baroque flair".
