In praise of this album, Andreas Dorschel writes: "capable of the tenderest nuances of voice, she [Mafalda Arnauth] ingeniously counterbalances them with a roughness that calls to mind fado’s subcultural origins.“Mafalda Arnauth's third album, Encantamento, was self-produced.
The singer said of it that it "leaves fatality, disgrace, and nostalgia behind.
Hope is fed on sadness; inspiration on suffering; strength and courage on difficulties."
