"The most bizarre track-if forced to pick one-is "Victoria". Primal utterances dance circles around distorted, intergalactic synth beats. Kauffman takes a beguiling taunt ("You're no good, baby!"), deconstructs it, then pieces it back together repeatedly. It's a disorienting thrill that draws out the band's innate ingenuity. There are plenty of other high points on the album-the aching chorus of "Billz" is arguably Hernandez's most addictive yet-but listening to Ava Luna play off of each others' quirks here is intoxicating. Minimalism has never been their strong suit, and they wrestle with controlling their lawless tendencies, yet Infinite House doesn't compromise the group's hyperactive curiosity".

"It's tough, really, to overstate how fun these tracks are. There's a sense of glee that pulses throughout the seven-minute psych-funk workout "Victoria", and emerges in snatches of studio chatter and laughter in "Steve Polyester" and "Tenderize". Even on the record's rare weaker cuts (the Julio Cortázar-inspired "Roses and Cherries" skips along with minimal impact), the band manages to channel its substantial stage energy into a studio product that's leaner, sharper and more clearly realized than the two albums that preceded it. Though neat and compact at under 40 minutes, Infinite House is as multilayered and pleasantly bewildering as the house where it was recorded".
