Jurek called "Let Us Go Into The House Of The Lord" "a stunningly beautiful and contemplative work that showcases how intrinsic melodic phrasing and drones were to Sanders at the time -- and still are today.

If the title track finds the players in a joyous, near-telepathic groove, 'Let Us Go Into the House of the Lord' is simply spiritual jazz of the highest order.
