''House Slippers'' received positive reviews from [[music criticism|music critic]]s. Steven Goldstein of [[HipHopDX]] said, "''House Slippers'' is a strong listen, and Joell Ortiz’s redemption story is easy enough to follow without falling victim to platitude. The radio efforts and the excessive Biggie Smalls interpolations create two hindering extremes, but the majority of the tracks that fall somewhere in the between are worth at least a few rotations."<ref name="HHDX"/> Rachel Chesbrough of ''[[XXL (magazine)|XXL]]'' stated, "The musicality is strong as the instrumentals drip with crossover appeal, and Joell is right in his comfort zone describing a childhood shaped by industry legends. What it comes down to with ''House Slippers'', is that there simply isn’t a throwaway moment, let alone a throwaway track. The beats offer variety, and the bars are packed with verbal skills that demand multiple rewinds. The Yaowa, in short, does not disappoint."<ref name="XXL"/>
