Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 16 out of 19
  2. Negative: 1 out of 19
  1. Far from rehashing her debut, she's made an older and wiser sequel, where the quiet magic of each song gets stronger with every listen. [Mar 2003, p.101]
  2. Material is everything to a chanteuse, and in contrast to Come Away With Me, the problem here is that Jones wrote/co-wrote almost half of the Home's 13 tracks.
  3. Feels Like Home is so inoffensive you have trouble remembering whether you put it on.

    Oh yes, a 10 from me. The purest voice on the planet. I have not purchased any CD's ever until I heard this voice. Keep those songs coming!

    There's no defining single like "I Don't Know Why," but overall this is actually a bit better than the first. So why only 4/10? Because it's still pop-lite. Norah has a nice voice, but there are times where this music is about as interesting as a phonebook. Some tracks are outright BORING, but overall it's harmless fluff, too safe like the elevator music Kenny G used to shill to millions. But, if you love Kenny G in the 90's and Seals & Croft in the 70's, whip out some white-bread, pour yourself a glass of skim milk, dim the lights and ENJOY! Expand

    Norah is loaded with talent, but it needs to be spent covering other writer's material. Aside from the first cut, the others are totally forgetful, not to mention boring. I loved her debut but this effort is a huge disappointment. Expand
