The standard repl for Steel Bank Common Lisp is worse than Cpython's with no basic readline support. The Common Lisp environment really shows its strengths when using a fully interactive development environment like a Lisp machine environment or Emacs with SLIME.

I'd call it the "built-in repl" rather than the standard one, since I don't think it's actually standard for people to use it directly.
CLISP has readline support.
