Reception
''November to Remember'' received mixed reviews from critics.
In 2011, David of ''Wrestling Recaps'' wrote "Things were rolling along decently and a good main event would have made this a recommendable show. I’ll go with a thumbs in the middle for November To Remember ‘97."
In 2011, Alexander Settee of ''The History of WWE'' appreciated the event by stating " The undercard here was ok, led by the first two matches being pretty good. From there it kind of fell apart, as the Tag Title match was a mess, RVD/Dreamer had so much going on and no real ending and then we had Sabu/Sandman. If you like the idea of watching guys sloppily hit each other with ladders and go through tables for twenty minutes, then this was your match, but as far as I'm concerned it just sucked. But then the show was saved by that great main event, which I think is absolutely worth tracking down if you haven't seen it. So as bad as Sabu/Sandman was, I still think there's enough good here to call it a Thumbs Up for November to Remember 1997."
In 2014, TJ Hawke of ''411Mania'' gave it a score rating of 2.5

stating, "This was another awful PPV from ECW. The unintentional comedy of the Sabu/Sandman match absolutely made this whole show worth watching."
In 2017, Brock Allen of ''Wrestling DVD Network'' stated "It’s not a terrible show by any means but it’s no classic either. It appeased the PPV providers, still looking for any reason to boot ECW, and sent the local crowd home happy. But for ECW fans around the country this was seen as a letdown. The opener is worth watching and so is the chaos of the “flag match”, but everything else is average, for ECW, at best. As always, if you haven’t seen it it’s worth sitting through at least once."
In 2018, ''Wrestling 20 Years Ago'' staff rated it 5 out of 10 and recommended the final two matches of the event watchable.
According to ''Wrestling Revolution'' staff, "this was a great show from ECW if you fast-forward through the dreck in the middle."
