Allmusic's Al Campbell said: "McGriff's House Party took two days to complete and found the participants in a hard funk mood. ... another enjoyable and recommended soul groove session".[5] Douglas Payne noted "McGriff seems ready to leave the lounge and get back to the soul and funk of the chittlin circuit. ... A nice comeback for one of the funkiest organists, when he wants to be".[7] In JazzTimes, Owen Cordle wrote "The Philadelphia organist knows how to initiate an infectious rhythmic feeling and keep it happening via hip footwork and judicious keyboard jabs ... All told, this house party, one of the organist’s best, is worth revisiting often".[8]
