Musicologist Raul da Gama has written of Paul, "...in his pristine articulation, Mr Jost dips into a colour palette that is not only most unusual, but also vast and encompassing of an impossibly wide register...he has been spoken of as a worthy successor, among male vocalists, to the legendary Mark Murphy."
