"Oxygène 3 takes advantage of updated technology, but generally sticks to the same moods and themes as the original. As with the second volume, there are more uptempo, trance-influenced moments, but it still keeps with the spirit of the original (probably even more so this time around), never trying to sound overtly modern or trendy. It's rich and adventurous but it never goes over the top, which is a relief ... As with the second volume, Oxygène 3 is a worthy release on its own rather than just a mere retread, and is well worth the time of anyone who was moved by the original".

"[Jarres] største kunstneriske bedrift [er] debutpladen, »Oxygene«, der med sin simrende melodiøsitet lød som en besked fra en knap så truende fremtid og var blandt de første virkelig populære electronica-plader. Pladen udkom i december 1976 og ligesom ved 20-års jubilæet i 1996 udsender Jarre nu 20 år senere endnu en opfølger i form af »Oxygene 3«. Om han har lavet pladen udelukkende på gammelt analogt grej, skal jeg ikke kunne sige, men stemningen og byggeklodserne er i hvert fald velkendte ... Jarre mestrer den her lyd til fingerspidserne, men det ville være synd at sige, at »Oxygene 3« lyder som fremtiden".
