Critical reception

Marcelo Costa of ''Scream & Yell'' gave the album a positive rating of 8 out of 10, stating that "its tracks chronicle the pinnacle of Skylab's career" and calling Skylab "the personification of political incorrectness". Webzine ''Puro Pop'' also spoke favorably of the album – calling it a "competent production" – and of Skylab's stage performance. Rodrigo Manhães of blog Fanatismo Indeciso called it a "celebration of the sickening side of the human mind", praising its repertoire and the guest appearances by Maurício Pereira,

and Löis Lancaster. He directed minor criticism to the fact that Skylab seemed to be "in a hurry to finish singing certain songs", but in the end " 'Skylab IX''is a great introduction to ogério Skylab'swork and an invitation to know his previous outputs".ROGÉRIO SKYLAB - Skylab IX
