Critical reception

Template:Album ratings

John Bush of AllMusic deemed Around the House "much more suited to straight-ahead dance music than Herbert's previous work" and stated that Herbert "proves quite adept" at creating backing music for the album's featured vocalist Dani Siciliano.[2] Pitchfork reviewer Mark Richardson described Around the House as "a bit more focused on sound than song" compared to its 2001 follow-up Bodily Functions; while finding Bodily Functions a stronger album, he admitted that "this could well be a matter of which record I heard first" and concluded, "Both albums are loaded with music of exceptionally high quality."[3]

Around the House was named the 96th greatest album of the 1990s by Pitchfork.[4]
