At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Cold House received an average score of 87, based on 14 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[8]

Bradley Torreano of AllMusic described the album as "the next step toward the icy-cold future of alternative rock that Kid A forecasted".[3] 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".[18] Nathan Rooney of Pitchfork commented that "with Cold House, Hood seem to have finally stumbled into a sound all their own".[13]

In 2016, Fact ranked Cold House at number 14 on its list of the best post-rock albums of all time,[1] while Paste ranked it as the 44th best post-rock album.[2]
