Reception

Commercial performance

The album debuted and peaked at #4 on the Canadian Albums Chart. The album was later certified platinum, selling over 170,000 copies.

Critical reception

The album received a "bad" rating from NOW's Sarah Liss, who wrote "The tunes on Home are as watered-down, radio-friendly and lyrically vapid as you'd expect, but they're all over the musical map, jumping from whiny soul-lite to wannabe Loverboy 80s rawk to Simple Plan-worthy punk-pop." In a lukewarm review, David Hayden of The Coast wrote "It doesn’t feel like Malcolm really cares about these tunes, as he never really sinks his teeth in like he did during the competition."

Awards

Despite receiving mostly negative reviews, the album earned a Juno nomination for Best Pop Album in 2004.
