"Soul Jazz's Brazil 70 compilation is the sequel to 2005's Tropicália compilation, and it uses 19 tracks to give a general picture of the way Tropicália's influence permeated Brazilian popular music as the 1970s progressed ... It lets people who'd like to know more dip their toes in, while providing a solid listen for anyone who just wants to visit for an hour. Either way, this is excellent music".

"The psychedelic adventurers of other countries had to cope with acid casualties and police busts and grim shadow of prog rock, but Brazil's Tropicálistas had a military junta and the Fifth Institutional Act to contend with ... But Brazil 70 unearths a fascinating refusenik musical world, hitherto overlooked in Britain, of artists gamely trying to bend inflexible rules, prepared to run the risk of prison and torture in the process ... Happily, Brazil 70's strength lies less in the stories it tells than the music it contains, which for the most part would sound fantastic regardless of the circumstances in which it was made. Gal Costa's horn-laden funk, the romantic swoon of Nelson Angelo and Joyce's two tracks, the nagging, cyclical melody of Jaime Alen and Nair de Candia's Passara: this is music to lose yourself in, which was presumably the point for the people who made it and bought it first time around".
