"The songs don't feel dated because they are contained in arrangements, compositions, and a production aesthetic that is timeless. The material was compiled from Maia's albums recorded between 1971 and 1978 ... It is the definitive compilation from his greatest years".
"Most of the 15 tracks on this compilation are drawn from a strange year-long period in his brief career when he was involved with a religious cult ... But it's all compelling, a mix of humid funk and sultry soul sung in English and Portuguese".
