  1. The New York Times
    80
    The album’s surprises are glimpses of misgivings shared with the groove, like the keyboard obsessively jabbing one chord in 'Losing Myself' or the eerie track--tom-toms, fluttery organ notes, high “ahs”--behind 'I Want Out.'
  2. Billboard
    80
    On New York City, Brazilian Girls have crafted a set as internationally diverse as the Big Apple itself.
  3. Boston Globe
    80
    The album bumps from electronica to cabaret to jazz and back again; it's busy but never feels schizophrenic.
  4. Spin
    60
    these increasingly experimental Girls remain an appealingly peculiar party band. [Sept 2008, p.112]

    I just got this cd a week ago, though i had listened it previously and its really, really good...ive seen them twice touring for their first two albums...and they always create a really good party vibe, but a smart one...and not in the pretentious way....i think they deserve more exposure....so come on people...one by one start enjoying the freshness of Brazilian Girls music!!!!!… Expand
