The AllMusic review by Matt Collar said: "Tying in with his cameo appearance in Steven Spielberg's film The Terminal , saxophonist Benny Golson returns with Terminal 1. Featuring more of his sophisticated and swinging tunes, the album finds Golson in top form on some of his best compositions in years ... Calling to mind the best Blue Note-era recordings, Terminal 1 is one flight of fancy not to be missed". [4]
All About Jazz's Eric J. Iannelli stated: "Benny Golson is indisputably a fine tenor saxophonist, but at the end of his already long career he will probably be best remembered for the quality and breadth of his songwriting ... Terminal 1 is a solid, engaging album, full of some lively ensemble work and a showcase of new interpretations of familiar Golson songs next to at least one fresh chart and the two older standards ... It’s hardly a matter of settling for whatever Golson happens to be offering on account of his notoriety or his age. While Terminal 1 benefits from his experience, it’s as expressive and buoyant as anything Golson was doing with Blakey’s Jazz Messengers lineup fifty years ago". [6]
JazzTimes's David Franklin observed: "As a player, Golson remains an awesome modern mainstream improviser, able to craft captivating and emotion-laden melodic lines while sailing through the chord changes with the ease afforded by his ultrasharp composer’s ear". [7]
All compositions by Benny Golson except where noted
Benny Golson is an American bebop/hard bop jazz tenor saxophonist, composer, and arranger. He came to prominence with the big bands of Lionel Hampton and Dizzy Gillespie, more as a writer than a performer, before launching his solo career. Golson is known for co-founding and co-leading The Jazztet with trumpeter Art Farmer in 1959. From the late 1960s through the 1970s Golson was in demand as an arranger for film and television and thus was less active as a performer, but he and Farmer re-formed the Jazztet in 1982.
