In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow called the album "excellent" and wrote: "Although the sound and passion of the group on this date will not surprise veteran listeners, it is always interesting to hear new variations of songs already definitively recorded in the studios. The Paris Concert is recommended to all true Coltrane fanatics."
