The AllMusic review by Cub Koda stated: "Benny Golson was moved by the death of bop trumpeter Clifford Brown to pen the classic ' I Remember Clifford'. Now presented with the opportunity to do an album in honor of his old friend, Golson assembles a sextet and presents an album that takes the idea of 'I Remember Clifford', thoroughly updates it, and extends it across an hour of great music on this disc ... With some great music on tap, there's no level at which this album does not succeed". [5]
JazzTimes' Bill Bennett observed: "Benny Golson has produced some of the finest compositions in the hard bop tradition, foremost among them his elegy for Brownie, 'I Remember Clifford'. Trading on that is surely Golson’s right, even after 40 years-perhaps because after 40 years-we know for a fact that the tune is a certifiable classic". [7]
