Reception
M. Tye Comer of CMJ New Music Report said, "When Kid Loco's A Grande Love Story was released in his homeland of France, the excitement caused by the producer's cinematic, downtempo trip-pop caused swells even on U.S. shores."[2] John Bush of AllMusic gave the album 4.5 stars out of 5, describing it as "an irresistible romp through the lighthearted, pastoral side of trip-hop by way of orchestral pop paragons like Bacharach, Gainsbourg, and Love."[1]
NME listed it as the 35th best album of 1998.[3]
"She's My Lover" peaked at number 85 on the UK Singles Chart,[4] while "Love Me Sweet" peaked at number 98.[4]
