    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.
  2. 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.
  3. AllMusic
    90
    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.

    An album that continues their mission of yanking bluegrass into the modern era. [#9, p.149]

    Home is a raucous acoustic album that mows through bluegrass and traditional country with a vengeance.
  6. Austin Chronicle
    40
    Although Home isn't entirely successful, it doesn't get out-and-out boring until the second half, laden with generic songs about believing in love and needing more of it, plus a lullaby that sounds like Don Henley's "The End of the Innocence."
  7. Rolling Stone
    40
    They are incapable of shaping a song, teasing out tension, friction or emotional swoop; they're happy to just play it.

    They are THE reason I started listening to country, and this disc, their latest, solidifies their genius.

    I love the Dixie Chicks! My all time favorite song is Landslide, I never liked the Stevie Nicks version of Landslide it was too slow and dullI love the Dixie Chicks! 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.    … Expand

    Utter perfection. I am so glad the chicks refused to follow in so many other 'country' artists by going pop. Each song is a Utter perfection. I am so glad the chicks refused to follow in so many other 'country' artists by going pop. Each song is a masterpiece, perfectly put together and executed..their IMMENSE talent is to be admired. Faith, Shania, etc have NOTHING on these girls. THose two coast on their looks, while the Dixie Chicks brilliantly play their own instruments and produce and write.... I just can';t say enough good things about this disc. BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR so far..that should cover it..… Expand

    The new sound is terrific! I loved the instrumental song. However, after awhile they all started to sound the same.
