Reception
The album is the singer's best-selling album of her entire career, selling over a million copies.[11][12][13] According to journalist Tárik de Souza from Jornal do Brasil, in just one month the album had sold 100,000 copies.[14] With its commercial success, the record label offered Bethânia a project for a second album interpreting songs by Roberto and Erasmo.[10] The singer rejected the project.[10]
In the follow year, she toured the album, starting at Canecão, a traditional concert hall in the city of Rio de Janeiro.[15]
Critical response
Eduardo Rech from the Rio Grande do Sul newspaper O Folheto, criticized the album, stating that "in this special project, Bethânia sings exclusively songs composed by the duo Roberto and Erasmo. The singer's voice is recognizable from miles away, giving it a certain personality. But nothing more can be done in relation to these songs. It's as if the King (as Roberto Carlos is called) had caught a cold".[16] José Carlos Assumpção from O Fluminense praised Bethânia's album, calling her choice to remain “faithful to the original versions a bold move” and saying that only “established singers are capable of personalizing classics.”[17]
Tárik de Souza from Jornal do Brasil, classified the album as a “careful selection from Roberto's repertoire” and called it “modern.”[18]
Legacy
The song was the opening theme for the soap opera Fera Ferida, written by Aguinaldo Silva and broadcast by TV Globo.[19]
In a poll of 162 music experts conducted by the Discoteca Básica podcast, the album ranked 309th, one of five albums by the singer in her solo career mentioned on the list.[20] In October 2024, a new version of Long Play was released by Universal Music, featuring a smoky translucent blue color.[7][21]
