Changing Colors


Changing Colors is a studio album by Nelson Riddle and his orchestra, the second of two albums recorded for German record label MPS.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Jim Dixon awarded the album three and a half stars. He said, "This record is probably more what you might have expected Riddle to be doing in 1971...orchestrating some of the more accessible pop songs of the day." He added, "It's well-done lounge music, recommended for serious fans of Riddle or lounge music, but there's not anything truly essential for a more general audience," concluding that Riddle's two MPS records are "high class background music in the end."
