The Allmusic review by Matt Collar awarded the album 4½ stars stating "This is soulful, visceral, moody and propulsive post-bop that often leans heavily toward late-'60s and '70s modal and free jazz". [2] On All About Jazz John Kelman said "As undeniably superb as the quintet's studio albums are, the group has never sounded this hot". [3] Alarm magazine's Ryan McCarthy wrote "Douglas crafts many brilliant melodies, and the soloing is top-tier, though often soiled by the lack of bite where the nitty-gritty rhythm should be. Live at the Jazz Standard is a showcase for Douglas and Caine controlling their mediums, needless of a supporting cast". [5]
