A Paris...

John Murph of JazzTimes wrote, "Recorded in France and featuring both French jazz artists and French compositions, you’d expect pianist-composer Jacky Terrasson’s homage to his hometown to be more exuberant. Instead, the wistful, lyrical A Paris sounds like a yearning mediation on the City of Lights rather than a celebration."[4] David R. Adler of AllMusic commented, "Several rather short pieces are grouped right around the middle of the album, giving that part of the program a collage-like feel that can seem a bit superficial. That aside, Terrasson has pulled off something rare: a concept album that succeeds on a variety of creative levels. In the process, he's given exposure to several excellent European musicians, not to mention some beautiful French music that American audiences ought to hear."[1] Vincenzo Martorella of PopMatters added, "With his beutiful, and singable, melodies, nice arrangements and very cool playing, A Paris stands as Terrasson's masterwork."[5]
