Reception

edit

Allmusic awarded the album with 2 stars and the review by Scott Yanow states: "...more mood and tempo variations would have kept this from being such a sleepy and overly respectful session."[1] Whereas Walter Kolosky in his All About Jazz review is far more positive stating: "Time Remembered is a beautiful and fully realized tribute. The sound is full and rich, and the playing is strong and forthright all around. McLaughlin’s soloing is fluid, occasionally too dense, but never misdirected."[2]
