HOME
Home is Procol Harum's fourth album, released in 1970. With the departure of organist Matthew Fisherand bassist David Knights and the addition of the remaining musicians' (Gary Brooker, B.J. Wilson and Robin Trower) former bandmate bassist/organist Chris Copping from The Paramounts, Procol Harum was, for all intents and purposes, The Paramounts again in all but name. The purpose of bringing in Copping was to return some of the R&B sound to the band that they had with their previous incarnation. -Wikipedia

Taste of Country
'Home' is an album, not just a collection of songs and ideas thrown randomly onto compact disc. Bentley sneaks brilliant lyrics between rolling guitar licks and heavy emotion, like he's giving a wink to the most observant fans.

AllMusic
Home does tilt a little too closely to the slick side of things but it has a sturdier foundation: the songs are overall stronger, the performances hit hard, it doesn’t waste time, it gets to the point even when the point is a little silly.

American Songwriter
Bentley’s sixth album in just under a decade, has been framed as his return to radio-friendly music-making.

NPR
I like the way Dierks Bentley is trying to work through a new passage in his career over the course of 'Home.'
-
Country Music Channel
Home indeed finds Bentley back where he belongs: On the top of the country music charts.

The Progressive Aspect
this is a very good package of an important release within progressive rock history and I have enjoyed listening to it

All Music
The group's hardest-rocking classic album is, beyond some superb vocalizing by Gary Brooker, principally a showcase for Robin Trower's high-powered guitar and a rock-hard rhythm section, with B.J. Wilson only a little less animated than Ginger Baker on some of the music.

Only Solitaire
Aggressive and pessimistic, that's what this one is. And it's somewhat a departure from the earlier sound, which some might welcome.

John McFerrin Music Reviews
while the rest of the album is good, it's just that - good

Wilson & Alroy's Record Reviews
So you really should go out of your way to find this record, at least if you agree with me that the late 60s and very early 70s marked the peak of rock's creativity and relevance.

Robert Christgau
ological and macho. And on A Salty Dog they didn't print the lyrics, which ought to end those silly rumors about Gary Brooker's intellectual attainments. Believe me, a smart singer would try and play "Whaling Stories" for laughs. Then again, a smart singer wouldn't write with Keith Reid in the first place

Don Ignacio
this is still a CLASSIC Procol Harum album that fans of the first three (and later) albums should moist certainly have in their collection
