==Recognition== Mike Hobart, wrote in the ''Financial Times'' that "Trible has been forging his particular slant on spiritual-modal jazz for decades, delivering his love-is-the-answer message with clear diction, rich tones and a beautifully controlled vibrato. Trible's sonic range adds a dash of Isaac Hayes gravel to the imperious sonorities of Barry White, and, like them, he steeps his voice in the inflections of gospel-soul and the blues. But, having worked with the likes of Pharaoh Sanders and Charles Lloyd, he is equally in control of the nuances and demands of jazz."<ref name="ft"/>
Andrew Gilbert wrote in ''JazzTimes'' that "few musicians have done more to cultivate the L.A. [jazz] scene over the past four decades" than Trible.<ref name="jazztimes">{{cite web|last1=Andrew Gilbert|access-date=2022-04-08|title=Dwight Trible: Mothership (Gearbox)|url=https://jazztimes.com/reviews/albums/dwight-trible-mothership-gearbox/|website=JazzTimes|date=29 October 2021 }}</ref>
