| Source | Rating |
| Albumism |   [2] |
| AllMusic | [3] |
AllMusic gave the album a positive review, saying "Estefan has outdone herself on Brazil305: By re-recording her hits, she illustrates the Brazil/Cuba/Africa argument, while welcoming fans along for the ride. She bridges these cultures in an inspiring, polished program that explores new sounds and contexts, while reasserting the eminently translatable appeal and transcendent power of her own music."[3]
Quentin Harrison from Albumism rated the album four out of five stars, saying "Although there have been many exceptions to this well-worn rule, often covers projects are not associated with progress—Estefan is an exception. She used this practice to evince her interpretive strengths and challenge herself previously with Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me and The Standards. This time, rather than turn her gaze toward the works of others, Estefan looked to her own staples and partners them with her investigative inclinations on Brazil305."[2]
