Greil Marcus wrote in
Esquire that House's 1998 album ''This White Man's Burden'' was "an extraordinary collection of warnings and threats, and it sounds as if it came right out of the ground." He later named the album his 6th favorite of 1998.
Robert Christgau, however, was less favorable in his review of the album, awarding it a "neither" rating, indicating that it "may impress once or twice with consistent craft or an arresting track or two. Then it won't." Jim Caligiuri of the
Austin Chronicle wrote that House's third album, ''Til You've Seen Mine
, was "easily his most accomplished" and gave it 3 out of 4 stars. Erik Hage of No Depression'' wrote that on House's 2004 album
That Dark Calling, "House is still very much his own man, but there's a levity to his approach here that suggests the singer is perhaps more concerned with healing than drumming up haints and spooks." Andy Whitman of
Paste wrote that on the album, "House is a fine songwriter with a great eye for detail, but his dour sensibilities become oppressive after a while." ==Discography==
