Buffett goes back to writing all of the songs on this album except one, and for the most part it works well.  After dabbling with country on the "Riddles In The Sand" album, Buffett moves back away from it with the exception of two tracks on "Mango".  "Please Bypass This Heart" is nothing spectacular, but the other country oriented tune on the album turns out to be one of it's best with "If The Phone Doesn't Ring, It's Me".  I believe it has been covered by several country artists over the years and is a really great song (this is coming from a guy who does not like country music).  Other highlights on the album include "Frank And Lola" a hilarious character study of a middle age couple trying to re-kindle a spark in their relationship on vacation in Florida.  "Desperation Samba" is another great Buffett "south of the border" tune.  The title track "Last Mango In Paris" is classic Buffett.  The album closer "Beyond The End" is a song a lot of Buffett fans don't seem to care for, but I think it makes a nice grandiose close to the disc.  The album also includes several of Buffett's popular concert favorites "Jolly Mon" and "Gypsies In The Palace".  Some of the production on this album is very 80's oriented which dates it a bit, but overall this is another good album from Jimmy.
