Composition

Critical reception

In a contemporary review of Sacrebleu, Will Hermes of Entertainment Weekly wrote, "Like French fromage, it often smells funny, but when it's good, it's marvelous." Retrospectively, John Bush of AllMusic described the record as "a breezy collection of what could be loosely termed house music", albeit one "indebted to a variety of intriguing styles reminiscent of the Continent around the mid-part of the century", and praised it as an "immensely enjoyable album".
