Robert Christgau of The Village Voice called Clubhouse "superb" and "mature late bebop".[6] AllMusic's Scott Yanow stated, "It is excellent music if not quite essential".[2]
DownBeat assigned the album 4 stars.[7] Reviewer Arthur Moorhead wrote, "The playing throughout is uniformly high, even inspired, but the most striking aspect of this date is the remarkable balance of material, the polished presentation of an array of carefully selected tunes".[7]
