Financial Times reviewer, Mike Hobart, stated "Trumpeter Wallace Roney and his saxophonist brother Antoine's long-standing partnership is steeped in the influence of the second great Miles Davis acoustic band. Both Roneys have mouth-watering tones and spin long fluent lines with imperious logic, and their working rhythm sections are fluid and spacious. Add in passing references to hip-hop, strong musical personalities and potent writing ... and a classic tradition springs to life". [2] In The Observer, Dave Gelly noted "No one could call these eight numbers easy listening but they have a concentrated power and moments of quite devastating boldness and originality". [3] JazzTimes', Philip Booth wrote: "Old-school funk and fusion? Contemporary R&B? Straight-ahead jazz? Open-air modal music? ... Roney, joined by his regular bandmates and several guests, touches on several of the stylistic strains mentioned above on Home. It's chockfull of the leader's dazzling displays, including the long tones and then quick runs .. there is never a dull moment". [4]
