"Portuguese fado luminary Mariza celebrating the peerless legacy of the greatest ever fado icon, Amália Rodrigues ... With a productive partnership with Brazilian producer/musician Jaques Morelenbaum ... his sweeping orchestral arrangements bring a breezy warmth to the austerity of traditional fado that might rankle with purists - just as Amalia's groundbreaking, popularising work often did".

"Top of the world" - "Needless to say, the ten covers of songs once sung by Amália on this regal tribute are utterly glorious. Backed by gorgeous orchestral arrangements by Brazil's Jaques Morelenbaum, who makes a welcome return after producing Mariza's 2005 album Transparente, she invests these classic fados with a rich and characterful wisdom that is somehow reverential and innovative at the same time. As for her voice, one seems to write the same thing with every successive album: it just gets better with age. The timbre is a little deeper than in her youth, although she can still hit those spectacular high Cs, and she's added layers of nuance and emotional expression that means she can now stand as Rodrigues' proud and deserved successor without embarrassment".

"Regal, richly orchestrated tribute from one queen to another".
