Allmusic 4/5 stars

Bossa Antigua is an album recorded by American jazz saxophonist Paul Desmond featuring performances recorded in 1964 which were released on the RCA Victor label. The album title is a kind of pun: Bossa Antigua ("old thing") in contrast to the popular musical genre Bossa Nova ("the new thing").

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars stating " The playing is wonderful throughout, though just missing the full-throttle inspiration of Take Ten".

All compositions by Paul Desmond except where noted.
