Francis Lai
"The Piano Paintings" is the more atypical side of the album, featuring pieces influenced by classical music and ballads influenced by jazz. "Uncut" felt this side of the album "features sublime instrumental passages worthy of Satie, Bacharach or French soundtrack composer Francis Lai." The "Trouser Press Music Guide" called this section a "collection of jazzy songs with fancy vocal arrangements," while Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic made note of the "jazz-pop fusions" that feature on this side.
