Reception
AllMusic awarded the album three stars out of five and in its review by Thom Jurek stated, "While this set is nowhere near as full of surprises as Day Is Done, it is nonetheless another chapter in the development of a singular composer and pianist". [1] The Guardian 's John Fordham gave it a 4 star rating and observed, "Mehldau's originals tend to be more private, enigmatic and, in some ways, classical than his imports, but the playing is typically mesmerising, those characteristic overlapping, interrogating left-right lines as vivaciously engaged as ever". [3] On All About Jazz , Troy Collins noted, "Although House On Hill may not rise to the conceptual highs of Day Is Done, it is an impressive document from an artist who continues to refine himself". [7] JazzTimes reviewer, Steve Greenlee commented, "As much as Ballard has stepped to the plate since Rossy’s departure, House on Hill is a reminder that Mehldau’s first trio was one amazing outfit". [8] The album also received a "CHOC de l'ANNEE" from the French magazine "Jazzman".
