Critical reception

edit

Sandra B. Olinger of Grimy Goods wrote that "with beautiful instrumentals and a child-like choir in the chorus, the song has an eerie yet soulful vibe."[5] Cleber Facchi of Música Instantânea wrote, in Portuguese, that "there are hummable melodies and voices, a structure that is completed by the insertion of beats that match the group's first records."[6]
