Critical reception

Sarina Paris received mixed reviews from music critics. The Orlando Sentinel commented on the album's quantity of "catchy tunes bound to get you dancing." However, The Washington Post, while suggesting that Paris is capable of more, wrote that the album provided evidence that, for the time being, Paris is "another mindless slave to pop fashion." USA Today also gave the album an unfavorable review, calling it forgettable and "cloying", despite "some moderately catchy tunes".
Most reviewers commented on the instrumental arrangements, including Liana Jonas of Allmusic, who wrote, "The thin music and arrangements on the 13 tracks are simply monotonous", in a generally negative review, although she praised the album's single "Look At Us", remarked somewhat favorably about the album's song, "True Love", and stated that Paris had some promising musical potential.
Billboard wrote that she is "well-poised to please fans of Eiffel 65, Sonique, and Aqua."
