The Toronto Star noted that, "though the Foremans' songwriting is still full of edgy asides, bittersweet incongruities and juicy hooks ... there's an underlying sadness to much of Trouble in the Home." [7] The Calgary Herald wrote that "there are some stinging guitar licks ... but the overall feel to the Thrashing Doves is one of a subtle, bittersweet sensuality." [8]

The Los Angeles Times deemed the album "forceful, melodic rock with lush (but not syrupy) arrangements." [6] Trouser Press concluded that "the music is still wholly lacking in purpose and conviction, and the lyrics' cagey religious references are too coy by half." [9]
