Critical reception

Pitchfork wrote that the album's "backward thinking, front-porch-rocking-chair charisma pales in comparison to more progressive folk contemporaries." Exclaim! called Human Like a House "an album of simple compositions and gentle melodies." SF Weekly wrote that "the songs unwind slowly here, sedate melodies that soothe you into a false sense of security, but under the placid surface are hints at ancient wounds that refuse to heal."
