Cold House received generally favorable reviews from critics. Metacritic gave the album a rating of 87 out of 100, based on 14 reviews.[4] Philip Sherburne of Cleveland Scene called it "not only one of the most melancholy records of late, but also a triumph of musical gene splicing, drawing together folk-flavored indie rock and the skittering beats of experimental electronica".[15] Nathan Rooney of Pitchfork noted that "with Cold House, Hood seem to have finally stumbled into a sound all their own".[10] Bradley Torreano of AllMusic described the album as "the next step toward the icy-cold future of alternative rock that Kid A forecasted".[5]
