"There may be no combination better capable of painting and promoting aural iridescence than that of vocalist Sara Serpa and guitarist André Matos. The work they've produced together, both on their first duo album (...) and on this alluring outing, pits consistency against the transient nature of sonic coloration in understated yet spectacular fashion. Their music is art at the point where minimalism and cangiante merge, resulting in an otherworldly sound that's utterly enthralling and completely unique".

"If traditional jazz "scat" singing is all hard-edged consonants, Portuguese singer Sara Serpa's sound is the opposite: pure, honey-toned vowels, child-like and innocent ... Serpa and Matos are sophisticated musicians, concocting a genre all their own, one that borrows from many - jazz, pop, Brazil and elsewhere - but is beholden to none".

"On the album's 14 tracks, the duo consciously evokes unconscious states. Matos' delicate, lyrical electric guitar, intricate and hypnotic, is the perfect foil for Serpa's mostly wordless vocals, which are cool, calm and precise. More so than on their acclaimed 2014 duo debut, Primavera, Serpa and Matos use the studio as an instrument, employing echo effects and overdubs judiciously to create their soundscapes".
