Ce is an enjoyable, finely crafted, and elegantly executed album, but at the same time very far from Caetano's best.
-
The album's midsection goes limp.
-
Ce is Caetano Veloso's 40th album—and the first in many years to make the hairs on the back of one's neck stand up.
-
It is quite elegant in its clarity and cleanliness.
-
The brightest, weirdest spots—lags are around but ultimately forgivable—are thrilling.
-
Veloso's voice and songs are newly elastic, inspired by the economy and daring of the trio of electric guitar, bass, and drums that accompanies his acoustic pluck.
-
A brilliant shot of Veloso the pop composer.

The New York TimesHe’s still singing with his usual soft, focused concentration, and in the rough textures and gaping silences of the band are strong melodies that point back to his simpler records from the mid-’70s, like “Qualquer Coisa” and “Joia.” Embedded in it too are some of Mr. Veloso’s best lyrics of the last 20 years. [22 Jan 2007]
-
The freshness of the arrangements appeals throughout.
