''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".Iannelli, E. J.
