AllMusic	[1]

According to Dave Connolly of AllMusic, Le Parc is in essence a series of "musical postcards" from major parks of the world that focus on the mood of these places rather than their geographical qualities.[1] Its tracks are shorter and more lyrical than the band's earlier works. Connolly said Le Parc "operates on a superficial level", which might be "slightly distasteful" to some long-time fans.[1]
