AllMusic[1]

John Bush of AllMusic wrote that with the album, Sinclar "proved himself a solid producer despite the lack of freshness, adding in plenty of swooping strings, nickel-bag guitars, and soft-toned keyboards", calling "Got to Be Free" and "Darlin'" "disco-mover productions that wouldn't sound out of place on classic American R&B radio", and concluding that Sinclar "has plenty of fun throughout the LP".[1] Piers Martin of NME was considerably more negative, calling most of Champs Elysées "a feeble facsimile" of the "fabled times" of "New York's early-'80s club culture" and the sound of disco. Martin summarised the album as a "predictable whirl of artificial strings, filtered loops and strident glitterball house", judging that "it's clear Sinclar doesn't have an original idea in his impeccably coiffured head".[2]
