Hope generally received a positive reception upon release. Many reviewers, such as Lucy Hovanisyan at 34th Street Magazine,[6] commented on Manchester Orchestra's "masterful" reworking of Cope into an acoustic work.

In a four-star review for AllMusic, Matt Collar mentioned that, "Hope works in perfect counterpoint to its darker, harsher predecessor. And certainly, while Hull has a knack for crafting blistering emo-epics, at the core of many of his songs there is a melodic lyricism and tender emotionality that lends itself to just the kind of delicate treatment achieved on Hope."

gollark: Probably. I think the strategy now is to just accept the decline into badness.

gollark: It is, but who cares.

gollark: Who would *pay* to run that?

gollark: You've clearly got SOME sort of computer, unless you're just running the internet protocol stack in your head and flipping a switch wired to an Ethernet cable really fast.

gollark: Phones are, in fact, computers.
