Paulo Cavalcanti from Rolling Stone Brasil gave the album three and a half stars out of five writing that "in terms of sounds and themes, the album is pure placidity", he also commented of the variety of the songs writing that "romanticism in its various nuances guides the record, which features modinha ("Tua Cantiga"), valsinha ("Dueto") and ballad with a jazz background ("A Moça do Sonho"), the syncopated samba is the face of the football "Jogo de Bola" and the samba-canção governs "Desaforos", "Caravans", the title track, closes the work with epic sonic ambition".[10] The magazine included the album in their list of Best National Albums of 2017, placing it at number three writing that "Caravanas is the portrait of Brazil that is becoming gradually rarer".[11]
