The album received mostly positive reviews from critics. Writing for Louder Sound, Nik Young calls the album "...an honest, confident and catchy release that winds up oddly hard to resist." New Noise gave the album 4 out of 5 and stated: "All in all, Hotel Kalifornia is an outstanding piece of work that is sure to keep fans entertained the whole way through." Wall of Sound gave the album a score 7/10 and saying: "While Hotel Kalifornia probably isn't going to win over any new fans, it is a consistently fresh addition of their bouncy nu-metal style that'll have you up on your feet as you crank up the volume to the limit. If you've enjoyed their previous albums, there's a pretty good chance of you giving this a go on your weekend drives outta town."
