The New York Times praised the "mixture of pointed observation and fatalistic acceptance [that] typifies Mr. Veloso's world view ... More than a diarist or a social commentator, at his best he is a true poet."[14] Newsday called "Santa Clara, Padroeira Da Televisão" "a stunning, satirical blend of spiritual imagery and media criticism."[8]
The Edmonton Journal wrote that "the music on Circulado takes an impressionistic course that's more quietly experimental, working touches of jazz improvisation among the guitar and percussion lines."[10] The Gazette stated that "there is folk, jazz, samba, bossa nova, new age and funk all rolled into one ... Sensuous and seductive, the spirit of tropicalismo is alive and well."[15]
AllMusic wrote that "Itapuã" "is a modern elegy for the beautiful beach, where Veloso is backed by a contemporary arrangement for string quartet and rhythmic section."[12] Stephen Holden, of The New York Times, listed Circuladô as the second best album of 1992.[16]
