John Fordham wrote that "The pairing of the young Dutch vocalist Fleurine and American pianist Brad Mehldau (the most acclaimed jazz pianist of the last decade) seemed an unlikely one.

[...] Mehldau was the quintessential contemporary jazz heavyweight, a meditative chamber musician of immense sophistication.

"[1] The album was recorded at Sear Sound in New York City on June 24 and 25, 1999.

[2] The tracks include compositions by Mehldau and Pat Metheny with lyrics by Fleurine in Portuguese and English and an original composition by Fleurine; it also features tracks by Antonio Carlos Jobim, Jimi Hendrix and Supertramp.

[citation needed] Fordham wrote that the album "has plenty of unexpected diversions".
