One of the best jazz Albuns of 2016 for Phil Barnes @All About Jazz
Elected by Jazz.pt magazine as one of the best national jazz records in 2016
**** «... Miguel Ângelo signs ten themes with a well-defined personality... The bass player follows the lines he had already exposed on his debut album, Branco - a direct, intense and direct music.»@ Publico.pt by Nuno Catarino
«...there´s a richness to the album’s rhythmic approach that, on its own, would be plenty to keep the attention locked in. And the lyrical nature of each melody is something where storybook concepts are expanded on and taken far from their original manifestation...» @ Bird Is The Worm by Dave Summer
**** «This is an album that beguiles gradually rather than being an instant infatuation. It is like the friend you feel comfortable with, who is unobtrusive yet steadfast, and whose worth is proven over time. Those are the people to keep close, and this is an album to value—great stuff.» @ AllAboutJazz by Phil Barnes.
«The album is a sea breeze so nice to live that it is a necessary good. It is thus to greet each new record experience by this brilliant Oporto bassist ... »» @ A Certeza da Música by Miguel Estima
«...La batería, el piano y el propio contrabajo arropan al saxo, anulándole en ocasiones, y tomando un protagonismo compartido...» @ La Habitación del Jazz
