''Hour of the Ox'' received a positive reception. Amanda Farrah of '' The Quietus'' wrote "Katie Kim’s Hour of the Ox is filled with wild vacillations in the densities of the songs, sometimes within the songs." Georgia Howlett of ''The Upcoming'', who gave it four out of five stars and described it as "haunted yet decadent". Siobhán Kane of '' The Irish Times'' also gave it four out of five stars, describing it as "resonant, evocative, and atmospheric". Writing for '' Hot Press'', Will Russell called the album "an exquisite album that demands exploration". Malvika Paddin of '' Earmilk'' called the album "a luscious collection of music built upon an expansive and orchestral bed of strings, synths and minimalistic drum beats." Stephen White of '' The Last Mixed Tape'' opined that "Much like Cage’s arctic sonic explorations, Kim’s journeys far from the crowd in Hour Of The Ox yields the same fascination, and are essential to the diverse tapestry of Irish music."References
