Reception

The Guardian's reviewer commented that "You could trawl through acres of supposedly 'sexy' Brazil chill albums without finding tracks as good as the 11 songs on this entirely delightful album".[3] The AllMusic reviewer concluded that, "For all of its originality and innovation, and its juxtaposition of traditions and integration of melodies and genres, Cymbals is far from a difficult listen."[2]
