„Um Vento Passou” is a dreamy ballad filled with traditional percussion and sweeping strings, where Nascimento duets with his long-time collaborator Paul Simon: two croaky octogenarian geniuses singing in Portuguese and bringing decades of wisdom and warmth to a fine song. (…) This is much more of an Esperanza Spalding album than a Milton Nascimento one. But what Spalding has been able to do successfully is subsume herself into the world that Nascimento has created over the last 50 years – a dreamlike realm of folkloric myth, plugged into nature’s heartbeat. (John Lewis, Uncut)
