Entertainment Weekly determined that "the catchiest choruses on the fourth album by these brassy Irish folk-popsters raise gooseflesh the way the Pogues and Violent Femmes could in their prime." [6] The Guardian opined that the band's "gift for strong melodies and playful lyrics ... is constantly undermined by tuneless vocals." [7] The Hamilton Spectator wrote: "A bright mixture of folk-based pop and rolling rhythms, spiced with Dave Couse's sardonic vocals, A House always provides an interesting twist on human yearning." [8]
