The review for AllMusic stated "Petit Oiseau should be regarded as a triumphant achievement by one of the early 21st century's strongest and most rewarding quartets".[3] PopMatters's review observed "Petit Oiseau follows in a line of great recordings by the quartet, and is unrelenting in its artistic vision. They know how to let each other go out on tangents while knowing the exact time to swing, and swing hard".[4]
All About Jazz said "A welcome return to the studio from one of today's most esteemed working groups, Petit Oiseau is one of Parker's most accessible and enjoyable releases".[5] The JazzTimes review noted "No matter what they do, the William Parker Quartet shows us that avant-garde music doesn’t have to be weird and off-putting. It can even swing".[6]
