Such Hot Blood received mixed to positive reviews from critics. On Metacritic, the album holds a score of 64/100 based on 4 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews."[6]

"Such Hot Blood is at its best when it's at its most anthemic," argues Q. "But they have light touch too: Anna Bulbrook's deft viola shows they're not afraid of intricacy and in Mikel Jollett they have one of the great wounded vocalists," writes reviewer John Aizlewood, giving the album a 4 out of 5 star rating.[8]
