In a 2010 review for Cruising World, Bill Springer wrote, "I think Jeanneau is on to something with its new line of yachts.The 53 is spacious, stylish, and sails well. The 57 has even more elbowroom, more sophisticated systems, larger battery capacity, and the dinghy “garage,” but both boats are designed to do the same thing: provide all the luxury of a big boat without the relatively big ...
Jeanneau is a French boatyard in Les Herbiers, in the Vendée département, which has produced yachts since 1957. It was founded by Henri Jeanneau, a hardware store owner, who began by producing power boats. [1] [2] Jeanneau specializes in monohulls, but it created a specialist multihull line, Lagoon catamarans.
In a 1984 Cruising World review stated, "the Sun Kiss is an impressive example of Jeanneau’s consistent ability to incorporate state of the art design and performance with French craftsmanship in the production of quality sailing yachts. Elegance is evident in her graceful lines, luxurious handcrafted teak interior and thoughtfully planned ...

A 2017 review by Adam Cort for Sail Magazine, "I didn’t expect much from this boat, but the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44DS is living proof that looks and good performance don't have to be mutually exclusive. The day of our test sail was gray and blustery, gusting to 20 knots out of the northeast, and the 44DS couldn't have been happier.

In a Yachting Today review, Jane Hyde wrote, "creating an attractive looking yacht with a deck saloon at just over 40ft (12.2m) is no easy task, but Jeanneau’s stylist, Franck Darnet has done well with the 41DS. Although she's one of the most streamlined cruising yachts of her size, I felt her gradually sloping 'eyebrow' superstructure didn't ...
