AllMusic Review by Greg Adams:
High Flying, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross’ third album for Columbia, features more of the group’s inventive and playful vocalese, including a vocal adaptation of John Coltrane’s “Mr. P.C.” The group’s active imagination leaves no stone unturned, finding musical inspiration in the alphabet (“The New ABC”), shopping at the “Farmer’s Market,” and shivering through the seasonal hijinks of “Halloween Spooks.” Dave Lambert and company cover kindred soul Slim Gaillard’s “Popity Pop,” and answer their critics with a disarmingly straightforward vocal group performance on “With Malice Toward None.” The Ike Isaacs Trio provides instrumental accompaniment on this delightful outing that was the group’s final album with Annie Ross. The album was reissued in its entirety with different cover art as The Way-Out Voices of Lambert, Hendricks & Ross.
