Reception
The general album received positive reviews.
Vinícius Cunha of the site "Gshow"[6] He said the registration mark to overcome after the tumultuous divorce and left the band late last year, is an open letter from a woman well settled and ready to conquer the world again. "Não Teve Amor" is considered the cry of freedom of Joelma, flagship of the launch and the singer found that no relationship post-end life and delivers a candidate to hit the old group's success templates, the Caribbean calypso dominating the track. "Se Vira Aí" comes as a zouk with electronic elements, showing that Joelma is focused on stepping on the painful betrayal. The singer says that those who lost out in the coexistence was the other side. "Ai Coração" announces a nostalgic ballad, is not the night to the day we forget a love, and Joelma know it. But also aware that it is much larger than the phase that seeks to disentangle. The verses prove that the wound is still open, but that is about to turn around. "A Página Virou" is seen as an unusual meeting of the repertoire Banda Calypso with "The Wheel" by Sarajane and is considered one of the best tracks on the CD. A renewed Joelma is to come on his solo debut and "A Página Virou" is his biggest test.
