Strong Place is the second album by German jazz saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock's Anti-House, a quintet with guitarist Mary Halvorson, pianist Kris Davis, bassist John Hébert and drummer Tom Rainey.

[1] In his review for AllMusic, Dave Lynch says that the album "is filled with unpredictable twists and turns that keep the listener guessing, while the music nonetheless coheres through recurring motifs and the bandmembers' intuitive grasp of Laubrock's compositional and improvisational language.

Her convoluted thematic materials arise following an inscrutable inner logic, often juxtaposed with improvised elements, whether solo or group, as they intimate a tangled web of feelings, often within the space of a single number.

"[6] Writing for The New York Times, Nate Chinen noted that Laubrock favors a "careful arrangement of ideas, and compositions with discrete parameters," as well as "chamber-group dynamics but shot through with rough texture and a vigilant avoidance of sentimentality."

He singled out "Der Deichgraf" for praise, remarking: "The piece opens with a stern rumble of pianism before the ensemble gives halting chase, and then tapers off into balladic terrain without relaxing its intensity.
