Feels like Home received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic,which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics,the album has an average score of 74 out of 100,which indicates "generally favorable reviews" based on 19 reviews. [2]
Writing for Yahoo! Music,Ken Micallef gave the album a favorable review and said,"Recalling Come Away With Me only for Jones's sultry voice,the album has its share of pleasant throwaways,but those are balanced by a handful of starkly beautiful and excellently arranged songs." [13] The A.V. Club's Keith Phipps also gave it a favorable review and stated that the album "should neither shock old fans nor disappoint those hoping to hear [Jones] reach for more." [14] E! Online gave it a B+ and said,"Instead of making any stupid concessions to her sudden celebrity... the Home girl plays it cool,carrying on with the same smooth vibes that made her a star." [2] Spin also gave it a B+,calling it "A better record than Come Away--less piano bar,more honkey-tonk." [2] Mojo gave it four stars out of five and said the album was "similar to the debut.... But there's a more vivid light-and-shade to the textures and a craft and depth to the compositions that represent a welcome distillation of Jones' art." [2] The Village Voice gave the album a positive review and stated,"If the choice of songs and beat and instrumentation were sometimes restrictive,still the piano and the voice endured." [15] Blender gave it three-and-a-half stars out of five and said that its mood was "more or less the same,if slight friskier." [2]
Other reviews are average,mixed or negative: Uncut gave the album three stars out of five and stated that,"Yes,it's an unchallenging and even deeply conservative record. But its class is positively aristocratic." [16] The Austin Chronicle gave it two stars out of five and said,"Material is everything to a chanteuse,and in contrast to Come Away With Me,the problem here is that Jones wrote/co-wrote almost half of the Home's 13 tracks." [17] The Guardian only gave it one star out of five and said that the album was "so inoffensive you have trouble remembering whether you put it on." [18]
Feels like Home sold 1,022,000 copies in its first week of release in the U.S. [19] It sold 395,000 copies in its second week [20] and spent its first six weeks of release atop the Billboard 200.
