AllMusic | [4] |
The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide | [5] |
The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said: "Perhaps the best view of Ford the improviser is afforded on Flying Colors, a first-class program of music by Strayhorn, Ellington and Monk."[5] The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Ricky Ford was one of the top tenors to emerge during the '70s and early '80s. This Muse set finds him matched with a top-notch rhythm section ... It was a fine showcase for the up-and-coming tenor".[4]
