In a particularly scathing review for Firecracker magazine, Alison Wong dismissed Colour Blossoms as "a sexual melting pot that is all style, little substance and virtually no chemistry", describing the S&M scenes as "almost laughable", and going on to say "that for all its lofty aspirations, the film has no driving purpose beyond attempting to titillate."
Alison Wong delivered a harsh review of Colour Blossoms in Firecracker magazine, calling it "a superficial exploration of sex" with little depth or emotional resonance, and ridiculing the S&M scenes as unconvincing, while also suggesting that the film's sole purpose was to arouse rather than engage.
