In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow calls it "not quite a classic but certainly worthwhile". [2] All About Jazz's Douglas Payne wrote: "Down Home, despite its brief 45-minute running time is, indeed, mighty fine; a hearty menu with plenty of meaty playing". [4] In Jazziz, Michael Ross wrote: "On Down Home, Baron flips the coin and brings his Southern roots to the fore, with eight melodic, soul-jazz tunes full of groove... On this disc, Baron may eschew the falling-down-the-stairs percussion style that made him the darling of the avant-garde, but he is still composing melodies that are as daring as his chops". [5]
