Reception
Writing for AllMusic, Jim Newsom declared Cool Paradise to be Sidran's "most fully realized recording"; complimenting his working band, audio clarity, Sidran's "cool and relaxed" voice and his "compelling" compositions. He concludes "it's surprising that Sidran hasn't become better known in pop and contemporary jazz circles" for such material.
