Box office House of Gold grossed a total of ₦15,454,401 in Nigerian cinemas, peaking at number 3 on the Box Office chart, at the time of its release, . Sodas and Popcorn comments: "
House of Gold began with great potential but somehow ended up going last-flight-to-abuja on us all and just crashes shortly after takeoff". It gave the film 2 out of 5 and concluded by stating, "addicts would have had a great time watching this movie, which admittedly was indeed funny; but then, it is what it is: a badly written funny movie. If you are a big fan of a good movie and you were attracted to this movie by the awesome title and lovely poster, then move along. Nothing here for you". Wilfred Okiche of
YNaija panned the film, stating that "the plot is repetitive, scripting is wishy washy, characters come and go in a disastrous blur and nothing here is particularly memorable, not even in a bad way". He however commended Francis Odega's performance, but concluded that "Yvonne Nelson and Majid Michel cannot save this
House of Gold from sinking".
Ameyaw Debrah of Africa Magic gave a mixed review, describing the film as having "a lot of good laugh-out-loud moments which make up for the not too impressive acting and fickle storyline. Not a collector's item but a good movie to see with the family or with friends". Efe Doghudje of 360Nobs gave 3.5 out of 10 stars, noting that "
Family Runs [
House of Gold] was a miscue in terms of production quality, post-production and scripting, which is very unlike the team that put
Single and Married together". Ada Arinze of Connect Nigeria remarked that "the movie starts out well, with lots of laughs, but spirals down into a boring and predictable ending".
