| Uncut |   [1] |
An Uncut review from May 2003 found that while Sinclar's music is "frothier and camper than ever" on III, he "has a new-found focus and vitality [...] Whereas so much electroclash lacks melodic thrills, there's an abundance of crisp, pulsating tunes here. And despite the disco flashbacks, Le Friant favours twisted re-interpretations over dead-handed pastiches". The review concluded by noting that "[f]ans of Daft Punk's Discovery will love it". [1]
Jack Smith, writing for BBC Music, felt that III is Sinclar's homage to French disco artist Cerrone, given Sinclar's compilation Cerrone by Bob Sinclar (2001), and his collaboration with songwriters Lene Lovich and Alain Wisniak on III, both of whom previously composed several songs for Cerrone. While acknowledging Sinclar's intention for a "new sound" after being an "international man of mystery" on his first two records, Smith opined that "herein lies the problem [...] III, his latest opus, is nothing less than average, and at times dull", summarising that the album's "pluses are few and far between".

French house is a style of house music devised by French musicians in the 1990s. It is a form of Euro disco and a popular strand of the late 1990s and 2000s European EDM scene. The defining characteristics of the genre are filter and phaser effects both on and alongside samples from late 1970s and early 1980s European disco tracks. Tracks sometimes contained original hooks inspired by these samples, providing thicker harmonic foundations than the genre's forerunners. Most tracks in this style are in 4
4 time and feature steady four on the floor beats in the tempo range of 110–130 beats per minute. French house is similar to future funk, although there are some key differences. Purveyors of French house include Daft Punk, David Guetta, Bob Sinclar, Martin Solveig, Stardust, Cassius, The Supermen Lovers, Modjo, Justice, Air and Étienne de Crécy.
