Critical reception Retrospective professional reviews Review scoresSourceRatingBHotel California was met with generally positive reviews. Critic felt it was their 'most substantial if not their most enjoyable LP', while Charley Walters of felt it showcased 'both the best and worst tendencies of Los Angeles-situated rock'.

Both critics picked up on the album's California themes – Christgau remarking that while it may in places be 'pretentious and condescending' and that 'Don Henley is incapable of conveying a mental state as complex as self-criticism', the band couldn't have written the songs on side one 'without caring about their California theme down deep'; Walters in contrast felt the 'lyrics present a convincing and unflattering portrait of the milieu itself', and that Don Henley's vocals express well 'the weary disgust of a victim (or observer) of the region's luxurious excess'. Billboard gave the album high praise: 'The casually beautiful, quietly-intense multileveled vocal harmonies and brilliant original songs that meld solid emotional words with lovely melody lines are all back in force, keeping the Eagles at the acme of acoustic electric soft rock.' It noted however that apart from what it called the '-type' title track, the album did not try out any new departure, nevertheless thought that 'the album proves that there's a lot more left to explore profitably and artistically in the L.A. Countryish-rock style.' Retrospective reviews have also been positive.

Of the, writing after the band broke up, called the album 'a legitimate rock masterpiece', in which the band 'examined their recurring theme about the American Dream with more precision, power and daring than ever in such stark, uncompromising songs as 'Hotel California' and 'The Last Resort'.' William Ruhlmann from later said ' Hotel California unveiled what seemed almost like a whole new band. It was a band that could be bombastic, but also one that made music worthy of the later tag of 'classic rock', music appropriate for the arenas and stadiums the band was playing.' Steve Holtje, writing for CultureCatch in 2012, felt that even though 'an awful lot of the album is snarky whining from co-leaders Don Henley and Glenn Frey, two guys who didn't really seem like they had that much they could legitimately complain about', in the final analysis ' Hotel California and the underrated concept album Desperado stand as the group's greatest statements'. Accolades Hotel California was the Eagles' sixth album (including ), and fifth of original material.
