Jay Roebuck of the Orange County Register declared, "Dianne Reeves is one of the premier singers in jazz. She has a voice and range that bring Sarah Vaughan to mind, but she definitely has her own style... This is Dianne Reeves' best CD to date."[4]
Scott Yanow of AllMusic wrote, "When she wants to sing jazz, Dianne Reeves has always had the ability to reach the top of her field, but she has long seemed unable to make up her mind between jazz, R&B, world music, and pop. This Blue Note disc fortunately finds her mostly sticking to jazz and in consistently superb form."[3]
Karl Stark of the Miami Herald praised the album, saying, "In I Remember, singer Dianne Reeves drops a little of her pop-lite persona and puts out some exciting, hard-core stuff, fulfilling some of her awesome potential."[5]
