Sarina Paris received mixed reviews from music critics. The Orlando Sentinel commented on the album's quantity of "catchy tunes bound to get you dancing." [6] However, The Washington Post , while suggesting that Paris is capable of more, wrote that the album provided evidence that, for the time being, Paris is "another mindless slave to pop fashion." [7] USA Today also gave the album an unfavorable review, calling it forgettable and "cloying", despite "some moderately catchy tunes". [8]
Most reviewers commented on the instrumental arrangements, including Liana Jonas of AllMusic , who wrote, "The thin music and arrangements on the 13 tracks are simply monotonous", in a generally negative review, although she praised the album's single "Look At Us", remarked somewhat favorably about the album's song, "True Love", and stated that Paris had some promising musical potential. [5]
Billboard wrote that she is "well-poised to please fans of Eiffel 65, Sonique, and Aqua." [9]
