AllMusic | [2] |
The Penguin Guide to Jazz | [3] |
The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide | [4] |
The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said, "both Ming and Home display an excellent balance between written material and solos by a distinguished group of sidemen". [4]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz selected this album, along with its predecessor Ming, as part of its suggested Core Collection. [3]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "All of the brilliant players have their opportunities to make strong contributions to Murray's five originals (best known of which is '3-D Family'), and the leader's writing is consistently colorful and unpredictable. Recommended." [2]
