The Down Beat review by Bill Meyer says, "The more time one spends with this record, the more it impresses. Beyond the rigorous playing, each of its 14 tracks abounds with surprise changes in shape and direction. But while it commands admiration, it’s hard to love; the contrasts and complexities don’t really add up to some
greater whole."[3]
The 5-star All About Jazz review by Chris May states, "Anti-House is Laubrock's most all-round satisfying album to date, a cascade of gritty beauty, some of it quite savage, which harnesses the enduring appeal of Forensic to the discoveries that have followed it."[2]
In a review for The Guardian, John Fordham says, "Though some of the motif-swapping strategies sound a shade robotic, Anti-House is a vivid indication of Laubrock's growing independence – and Halvorson's Derek Baileyesque scrambling runs, Hendrix distortions, wild on-the-fly detunings and massaged jazz-guitar grooves offer constant diversions."[4]
A writer for the Morning Star commented: "this diverse group of men and women play like a dream... Altogether, this is an album of many creative delights."[5]
