Reception
The album was well-received by critics. DiscoDigital said 'Rua da Sausade forms a triangle with virtual Humano and Amalia Hoje. All different in approach, all equal in how they communicate in fundamental references of Portuguese culture."Rua da Saudade was part of an idea of Ary dos Santos to join four female voices - Viviane, Susana Félix, Mafalda Arnauth and Luanda Cozzeti - to honor Ary dos Santos, on the 25th anniversary of his death.
"Of the four singers, but no compromises are Susana Felix and Mafalda Arnauth, this bright outside the scope of fate, clearly at home in time to swim out standing, who shines most. The arrangements often distance themselves from the original but rarely go beyond the average : sober, it is a fact, but without wing coup.
"If Ary dos Santos was a man ahead of his time, why a disk so conservative? Not that the poet's words are lost in space and time but the discovery of a personality as bold deserved a little more daring." Wordpress also gave a positive review.
