| AllMusic |   [3] |
| Los Angeles Times |  [4] |
| Smash Hits | 5/10 [5] |
| Windsor Star | B+ [6] |
The Los Angeles Times wrote that "the gospel-influenced rave-ups that punctuate the band's second album call into question how much soul it can squeeze from the boogie". [4] The Windsor Star determined that the band "is best when it rams straight ahead on full-blown horn tunes, like 'Hardstone City' and 'Giving It All Away'". [6]
Jonathan Lewis of AllMusic deemed Home an "underrated gem". [3]
All tracks are written by Hothouse Flowers, except where noted.
