The AllMusic review by Dave Lynch said "Memory Select takes its place as a fitting climax to the three CDs, standing strongly on its own but also feeling, appropriately, like the series' grand finale. Any listeners interested in Berne's growth as a player, composer, and bandleader should pick this up; better still to find all three of the JMT Bloodcount CDs -- subsequently reissued on Winter & Winter -- to place Memory Select in proper perspective".{{Citation |title=Tim Berne's Bloodcount Memory Select: The Paris Concert, Vol. 3 Album Reviews, Songs & More {{!}} AllMusic |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/memory-select-the-paris-concert-vol-3-mw0000648636 |language=en |access-date=2022-06-09}}
Writing for All About Jazz, John Kelman stated "Memory Select - The Paris Concert III is a firm reminder that Berne is capable of more detailed orchestration—and that the concert stage may well be the place to experience this distinctive writer/performer's best work".Kelman, J., [http://www.allaboutjazz.com/memory-select-the-paris-concert-iii-tim-berne-winter-and-winter-review-by-john-kelman.php All About Jazz Review], October 20, 2005
