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."
