Reception

| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = |rev3 = The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide | rev3Score = {{Cite book |editor-last=Swenson |editor-first=J. | year = 1985 | title = The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide | publisher = Random House/Rolling Stone | location = USA | isbn = 0-394-72643-X | pages = 106 |rev2 = The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings |rev2score = Bill Milkowski of JazzTimes commented: "...Red Clay, an album that would not only define Hubbard's direction over the next decade while setting the template for all future CTI recordings, but would also have a dramatic impact on a generation of trumpet players coming up in the ’70s. ’Red Clay’ would become Hubbard's signature tune throughout his career." Thom Jurek of AllMusic stated: "This may be Freddie Hubbard's finest moment as a leader, in that it embodies and utilizes all of his strengths as a composer, soloist, and frontman. On Red Clay, Hubbard combines hard bop's glorious blues-out past with the soulful innovations of mainstream jazz in the 1960s, and reads them through the chunky groove innovations of '70s jazz fusion... This is a classic, hands down." Tom Moon, in 1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die, wrote that "Red Clay is one of those records that mucks up the neat evolution narrative of jazz."
