In a review for AllMusic, Richard S. Ginell wrote: "This is mostly gutbucket, stomping, swinging New Orleans jazz through the eyes and ears of avid students of old records -- and they have absorbed a good deal of the original raffish, joyous feeling... The results are often hilarious, and certainly instructive."
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings noted that "Wynton's playing has rarely sounded so relaxed and so raw," and stated: "There is no attempt to lend these astonishing compositions any false grandeur; they have quite enough as it is."
C. Michael Bailey of All About Jazz commented: "Marsalis is an acquired taste, to be sure, often coming off as too reverent for the music, but this recording is as near a perfect and genuinely heartfelt a performance as could be expected."
Writing for Jazz Times, Willard Jenkins remarked: "the band does not address Jelly’s music as period pieces, but on Wynton's own terms; not as deconstructionist, but as reverent update. Hewing to the tradition of this music, while giving it a contemporary polish is no small feat, yet it is accomplished here with aplomb."{{cite web |url=https://jazztimes.com/archives/wynton-marsalis-mr-jelly-lord-standard-time-vol-6 |title=Wynton Marsalis: Mr. Jelly Lord: Standard Time Vol. 6 |first=Willard |last=Jenkins |date=January 1, 2000 |website=Jazz Times |access-date=October 8, 2022}}
Writing for Burning Ambulance, Phil Freeman stated: "As an album, Mr. Jelly Lord is a lot of fun. The band is clearly having a blast digging into these tunes, with Riley setting up a stomping, clashing parade rhythm and the horns engaging in raucous polyphony and call-and-response. Marsalis is often at his best when growling through a plunger mute, and his interaction with trombonist Gordon is terrific throughout."{{cite web |url=https://burningambulance.com/2019/04/30/marsalis-standard-time |title=Marsalis Standard Time |first=Phil |last=Freeman |date=April 30, 2019 |website=Burning Ambulance |access-date=October 7, 2022}}
