Jason Birchmeier, wrote for the magazine Billboard site and allmusic, saying that the album brings in its 24 songs, a strong style and sentimentality in the instrumental music. He also says that "Dois Quartos" is a highlight of the expression of Ana Carolina, and this album, poses as the biggest superstar of the MPB. He still isse that the subject of bisexuality, lends an air of curiosity in some of the songs. Even more, why is labeled strictly for adults".[4]

In Brazil, Joao Paulo de Oliveira Bueno, wrote that there is a maturity and confidence in the production of the album: "Ana is more mature. Not that she was not before. Now the singer can bring to the music, presenting his point of view and even her bisexuality in the songs 'Homem e Mulher', 'Eu Comi a Madona', 'Rosas' and 'Eu Não Paro'.
