The Angel in the House is the second album by the folk-pop duo the Story, released in 1993.

[3][4] The Boston Globe noted that "the album's 12 songs cover ground quickly, tripping through Latin-flavored upbeat pop, then reversing to dwell upon the inner questions that torment sufferers of eating disorders.

"[6] The Washington Post wrote that "once again we find the duo's Jonatha Brooke and Jennifer Kimball mining a mostly dark vein of ballads, but the lyrics are more complex, the arrangements more sophisticated.

"[7] The New York Times concluded that "both Ms. Brooke's lyrics and the album's moody jazz and Brazilian-flavored arrangements owe a debt to [Joni] Mitchell's late 1970's albums, especially Hejira.

"[8] AllMusic called the songs "beautifully arranged and well-orchestrated tale[s] of longing, love, and/or loss.
