The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album two and a half stars and said that Vaughan's voice was "still in tremendous form" but "few of the performances are all that memorable...this set is really more for fans of contemporary Brazilian music than for jazz collectors".^[1]

The album garnered a Grammy nomination.
