In his review for AllMusic, arwulf arwulf states "Bassist William Parker's exceptionally fine and friendly-to-listen-to album Uncle Joe's Spirit House has been warmly received as a comparatively "inside" listening experience, because unlike virtually anything else in his discography prior to its release in 2010, this is a study in organ combo jazz... with every recording he sends out into the world, William Parker's personal blend of spirituality, surreality, and musicality references every aspect of his—and our—existence"[3] The All About Jazz review noted "Uncle Joe's Spirit House is a deeply personal offering from a musician whose role as a scene leader and social activist is as significant as his instrumental prowess".[4]
