Columnist Felipe Ernani from the website Quero Mais Discos Que Amigos, analyzes that "Noitada sounds more international than ever, with clear influences from Hyperpop and other similar styles, it also rescues several super Brazilian elements, such as funk and brega that appeared with strength in Batidão Tropical.
