| Windsor Star | B+ [7] |
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'". [7]
Jonathan Lewis of AllMusic deemed Home an "underrated gem". [3]
