  3. 8.0 |   Mojo

    A glorious convergence of talents. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   Uncut

    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. Print edition only

  5. 7.0 |   Spectrum Culture

    Milton and esperanza embodies everything that is good and right and holy about Bossa Nova
