Critical reception

Neil Griffiths from Rolling Stone Australia said the album was "worth the wait" saying "The 5 Seconds of Summer member breaks out on his own for a diverse debut solo LP exploring indie-pop, new wave, and more."
Emma Wilkes from Kerrang! said of the album "While you certainly come away from Order Chaos Order having become much more well acquainted with his inner world, more significantly, it's thrown light on just how much Calum is capable of".
Shannon Garner of Clash also reviewed the album positively, saying, "Overall, Order Chaos Order is a bold genre-melding statement that affirms Hood's role beyond solo artistry. It's a record that proves Hood isn't just capable of standing on his own, but of shaping a soundscape that feels deeply personal, and definitely vulnerable".
A review published on AllMusic stated "Order Chaos Order never comes off as overly derivative, and Hood manages to grab you with a style and emotional pathos that feel genuine. The result is an album that shimmers with a dreamy, golden-hour energy that sticks with you".
