    This is a pure country album, loaded with fiddles, acoustic guitars, and close harmonies, but retaining the Chicks' signature flair, sense of humor, and personality.... An instant classic.

    Home is a raucous acoustic album that mows through bluegrass and traditional country with a vengeance.
  6. Entertainment Weekly
    100
    A magisterial album.... If the group has cast off some of the youthful eclecticism, the three Chicks have pulled off something more difficult: refined their trademark sound without allowing it to turn into a copyrighted formula.
  7. PopMatters
    90
    Home is a definite top pick for 2002, and certainly kicked country music in its ass once again when it needed it the most.

My all time favorite song is Landslide, I never liked the Stevie Nicks version of Landslide it was too slow and dull but Dixie Chicks remade Landslide into a hit, this song is so addicting and I love everything about the Dixie Chicks version of Landslide, great guitar work, great vocals, and it's an upbeat catchy song that never gets old. I haven't listened to any of the songs on the album yet besides Landslide because it's so addicting to listen to.

    I highly recommend this album.    … Full Review »
