Allmusic[2]

In his review for Allmusic, Scott Yanow calls it "Not quite a classic but certainly worthwhile".[2] On AllAboutJazz Douglas Payne said "Down Home, despite its brief 45-minute running time is, indeed, mighty fine; a hearty menu with plenty of meaty playing".[3] In Jazziz Michael Ross wrote "On Down Home, Baron flips the coin and brings his Southern roots to the fore, with eight melodic, soul-jazz tunes full of groove... On this disc, Baron may eschew the falling-down-the-stairs percussion style that made him the darling of the avant-garde, but he is still composing melodies that are as daring as his chops".[4]
