Mark Stryker, Detroit Free Press music critic, wrote of Cliff, “…[his] breathy ideas leave lots of space, girding the music with exquisite tension. …What gives the music personality is Monear’s suave touch, relaxed swing, fresh melodic and harmonic turns and the unpretentious way he draws on familiar influences.”
