"Lívia" is a Portuguese-language version of "Delia's Gone", an American folk song popularized by Johnny Cash.

Writing for Galeria Musical, Felipe Lucena gave Desterro e Carnaval the maximum score of 5 stars out of 5, calling it a "delicate and sensitive output" with "reflexive and melancholic lyrics".

He also criticized the fact that the album didn't receive a physical release, but considered its production "the only good thing about it".
