[1] It was released on the Greenleaf label in 2007 and features live performances by Douglas, Donny McCaslin, Uri Caine, James Genus and Clarence Penn.

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".
