    It's not easy to get back to the top after so many years after Oxygen. I'm not sure if JJM did it well. Adding vocal to some melodies makes it not quite electronic music. And finally I must say I do prefer younger Jean Michael Jarre.

    Despite its proliferation of modern day input, Electronica 1 sounds dated. [Nov-Dec 2015, p.71]

    Jarre's own pastel-shaded musical signature sometimes gets lost in the crowd. [Nov 2015, p.77]

    All in all, this is an unqualified triumph. [Nov 2015, p.86]
