"While this is very much an atypical Queen album, it contains lots of cool tunes, and it's very ambient as well, but what is interesting is that the music works with and without the visual aspects of the film to accompany it." (Time_Signature, ★★★★★★★, )
"This is the soundtrack to the Flash Gordon film and probably one of the most progressive works of Queen. A really cool soundtrack album, where the sum of the tracks is more than the songs themselves, so it's hard to rate." (Carpetcrawler, ★★★★★★☆, )
