Rating:  - Music from the soul
Luis Bonfá plays with his soul, and the result is fantastic. If you like bossa nova, not doubt this is a must have.
Rating: - One of the best Pieces of Music I Own
I can't think of any other way to put it - this is easily one of the best albums I own. Luiz Bonfa was one of the, if not THE, founder of bossa nova. His influence is all over the genre, from the "Orfeu Negro" original soundtrack to modern adaptations. This particular album highlights him at IMO his best. When listening to this I'm taken to an old record player at sunset in the summer. Great with the remastering but there's something about the old vinyl that'll always carry something special. ...

Rating: - Soothing Sophistication
Well, I don't know what the reviewer who considered this a snooze expected, Sepultura perhaps? If you don't like mellow, then Luiz Bonfa Plays and Sings Bossa Nova is NOT going to be for you.

Rating:  - A SNOOZE
This might be nice easy-listening dinner-party music if you are looking for something with a retro flavor, but that's about it. I was very disappointed in this CD... and there aren't many Brazilian CD's I can say that about.
Rating: - He's The MAN!
Oh, this album is so satisfying. Especially the 2nd track: "Vem So (Come Here My Love)", a great love song. On this album Bonfa's guitar playing is elegant and simple, and the orchestrations by Lalo Schifrin extremely romantic. It covers many styles, with one song reminding me of Joao Gilberto and another of Henry Mancini. This album is one of the great legacies of 1960s bossa nova. Sweet, romantic and totally hip.
