Reception

Allmusic's Matt Collar rated the album four stars and stated, "Loose, swinging, funky, and spirited, Live at the House of Tribes is an absolute joy." [3] Jazz critic Ben Ratliff of the New York Times says of the album, "Throughout the record, the playing almost never goes outside of tonality, and the rhythm section holds fast to swing. But swing brings out the best in these players; the music is fully alive and afire with ideas. It makes you want to have been there." [4] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings describes the album as “a near-perfect live record, packed with atmosphere and marked by some powerful, wise playing”. [1]
