Jan 22, 2021“Home” is bookended with a musical tactic that is both perfect and obvious: cantos sung by the Danish National Girls’ Choir. ... But as with everything Rhye, it’s all in service of Milosh’s crystalline voice.
-
Jan 22, 2021This being the Rhye album with the most layers, Milosh was wise to employ the brilliant Alan Moulder (My Bloody Valentine, Nine Inch Nails, the Killers) as mixing engineer. Every change pays off.
-
Jan 22, 2021A record that allows itself space to shfit and evolve, ‘Home’ is both airy and immersed in strong roots. A Canadian in Los Angeles, Rhye is proof that ‘Home’ is where the heart is.
-
Jan 21, 2021Home sounds like an invitation to a decedent, warmly lit house party where there may or may not be a jar of keys in the corner.
-
Feb 5, 2021It’s comforting like an old blanket. Perhaps a bit itchy in places, but when things get cold it’s just what you need.

Rolling StoneFeb 4, 2021His whispery falsetto and meditative grooves will draw you in. [Feb 2021, p.73]

Jan 22, 2021Home is an ambitious effort and contains some of the most exciting music released by Rhye. There are disappointments on the album, but they are equaled, if not exceeded, by the number of exciting successes on the album.

UncutJan 21, 2021For the most part, Milosh goes for mood over hooks, but the sultry "Helpless" seductively sports both. [Feb 2021, p.32]
-
Jan 21, 2021While Home lacks the consistency of previous records, it makes a strong case for Rhye as a pop star waiting in the wings, à la the Weeknd, thanks to a voice versatile enough to complement any instrumental choice. Four albums in, Rhye has finally begun to branch out, and not a moment too soon.
-
Jan 25, 2021Home works as a sensual mood-setting exercise, but less so as a distinct creative statement.
-
Jan 22, 2021Rhye has always specialized in making the kind of dance music that operates at a cool temperature, feeling sexy and sensuous without going full dancefloor. ... Milosh does it again here, and makes room for some nice textural and instrumental details, but as Home closes with another heavenly choir piece, it accidentally suggests something about Rhye: maybe it’s time to try some new tricks.
