The album's first single "Manteca," is the featured track on the playlist.

Writer Raul da Gama calls the album a "stunning debut disc."

Writer Filipe Freitas calls the record, "not too brooding, not too exuberant, and not too bombastic, Metropolis Paradise finds an unblemished equilibrium in exerting good-natured vibes and emotion."

Nate Chinen says, "in the ongoing conversation about best debut album of the year, I hope due consideration goes to drummer Mareike Wiening."

"The Contender" was featured in the Friday Playlist.
