Reception
In his review for Allmusic, Scott Yanow calls it "Not quite a classic but certainly worthwhile". 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". 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".
