Critical reception

The Washington Post praised "Hudson's affection for the odd characters who inhabit, or sometimes just float through, small Southern towns."^[5]

AllMusic wrote: "Homegrown is informed by melodic smarts absent from so many contemporary alt-country records; [Cary] Hudson's parched, Dylan-esque vocals remain wonderfully evocative as well, helping establish an authentic sense of time and place."
