The album and the trilogy it is part of as a whole were originally announced by Skylab on his official Facebook page on March 7, 2018.[4] On a later post, from December 3, he stated that production of Nas Portas do Cu was "nearing completion" and that it would be released on January 1 of the following year.[5] Lívio Tragtenberg, who collaborated with Skylab on the Skylab & Tragtenberg trilogy of albums, contributed with Nas Portas do Cu by pre-mixing the album and providing the samples.[3]

The track "Catatau" is a reference to the eponymous experimental novel by Paulo Leminski, originally published in 1975.

Critical reception

Writing for webzine Esquinas, owned by the Cásper Líbero Foundation, Henrique Artuni spoke very favorably of Nas Portas do Cu, calling it an album "whose greatness can be compared to Skylab VII, Skylab X and Skygirls". He also praised Skylab as a "chameleonic artist", and noted how he and his music visibly "matured" over time.[6]
