William Ruhlmann's review: "initially, they sounded so style-bound that you wondered if any growth was possible, but with this album they were charging off in half a dozen directions at once." 3 stars.

CMJ review: "The BoDeans may not win any awards for complexity or uniqeness, but their hearfelt lyrics, playfulness, and ability to craft instantly memorable melodies puts them way ahead of the pop masses."

Fred Goodman's review: "Home is the Wisconsinites' most sophisticated and energetic album to date, yet it is also their most consciously derivative." 3 stars.
