"The queen of Portuguese fado returns with an album split between traditional-sounding songs and AOR balladry; polished with the sheen Javier Limón gives all his productions, the latter are rather fine but will alarm Lisbon's diehards. Always far too good to be shackled by genre, here Mariza makes a decisive leap for mainstream succes".

"The few unadorned fado tracks (...) are absolute beauties, which simply serve to point out what a travesty the majority of the album is ... Far too much glossy coffee-table easy-listening, over-acting and over-production by (...) the dreaded Javier Limon, who has single-handedly turned the work of many a golden European diva to unlistenable cack. There really should be a law against him".
