In a 2014 review, Richard S. Ginell of AllMusic praised the album for "Wave" and "Triste" (deeming them two "instant standards") and its "absolutely first-rate tunes... that escaped overexposure and thus sound fresh today." He concluded, "one only wishes that this album were longer; 31:45 is not enough." [2] Chris May, in a review on All About Jazz, said Claus Ogerman's simple string arrangements added to the "modern appeal" through "vivid evocation of a long-gone time and place." He added, "as jazz, Wave has no more authenticity than its cover shot suggesting an African giraffe traversing a Brazilian beach, but it remains an elegant and delightful album." [4] A review on Tiny Mix Tapes said, "with Wave....you'll find repeated listening will become a must." [5]
In 2007, Rolling Stone Brasil magazine ranked Wave number 92 in "Os 100 Maiores Discos da Música Brasileira" ( The 100 greatest Brazilian music records). [6] Guitar Player magazine included it on their list of The 40 Greatest Guitar Albums Of 1967. [7]
