Reception
The AllMusic review by Ken Dryden said "Benny Golson has made many excellent recordings over the decades, but One Day, Forever is in a class by itself". All About Jazz stated "The result is a CD in three mentalities, all of which are contained by Golson's imagination: the famous sextet sound that produced numbers like “Killer Joe,” a string orchestra backing Shirley Horn as she sings the words to Golson's new music, and a piano piece introducing Golson's first classical composition. While not consistent in theme, One Day, Forever does reveal in startling contrast the creative curiosity of Benny Golson ... Certainly, one could say that One Day, Forever contains something for everyone".All About Jazz Review accessed March 25, 2019 JazzTimes' Harvey Siders observed "One Day Forever is a tour de force for Benny Golson. This is an elaborate sampler of his talents as composer-arranger, lyricist and tenor saxophonist ... So many facets of Benny Golson are on display here".Siders, H., JazzTimes Review, accessed March 25, 2019
