"A gorgeous album of the finest in Brazilian love songs. The quiet sounds of the quiet Brazilian genre are gracefully documented on Quietude, and Elaine Elias's alluring vocals serve as the perfect vehicle to convey the feelings of love, emotion and excitement captured quite elegantly here".

"With 2022's Quietude, Eliane Elias crafts a sumptuously intimate showcase for her Portuguese vocals and bossa nova jazz balladry ... While she does play some piano here, Quietude intentionally spotlights her voice, pairing the Brazilian-born performer with several of her closest guitar friends on a handful of her favorite songs from her homeland ... Much of the album focuses on duets, including a hushed reading of Dorival Caymmi's "Marina" with [Marcus] Teixeira ... We also get a spritely take on Haroldo Barbosa and Geraldo Jacques' bossa nova "Tim-Tim Por Tim-Tim" which Elias recorded with the late Brazilian guitar legend Oscar Castro-Neves prior to his 2013 passing and which she hadn't released until now. Equally compelling is her affectionate album-ending duet with 79-year-old singer Dori Caymmi on his father and Nelson Motta's poetic sailing ballad "Saveiros"".

"With her latest series of releases, Eliane Elias has quietly and sadly unobservantly becoming not only one of the most adroit pianists in jazz, but with albums like this new one, has now entered the top tier of Brazilian vocalists. Her voice (...) is alluringly soft and understated, making Astrud Gilberto sounding stiff in comparison ... The warmth of pieces such as the joyful "Bolinha de Papel", the relaxed "Olha" and piano pulsed "So Tinha Que Ser Com Voce" glow like a Brazilian sunset, while Elias sounds convincingly longing on a "Bahia" medley and takes the tender cadence of "Bahia Com H" on a journey like a leaf floating off of a tree. This is music for heart, mind and soul".
