"Now pushing 70, Vaughan isn't out to be the next flavor of the month - he never was - but he revives these blues corkers with class, restraint and a vibrant sense of love for his chosen genre that shines through on every cut".

"As usual, Vaughan completely ignores modern electric blues trends. On this excellent slab of grease, grit, and soul, past is present is future, thank goodness".

"What comes through is what Vaughan likely intended, just a group of skilled players doing tunes and the type of music they love. It's not about showboating at all. All extraneous matter has been effectively distilled and dismissed. This is tight, in-the-pocket playing, honoring the song, and letting the pure joy of the music flow effortlessly".

"With a voice slightly reminiscent of Louis Prima, Vaughan sinks his teeth into material originally cut by an eclectic assortment of immortals: T-Bone Walker, Lefty Frizzell, Chuck Willis, Fats Domino, Jimmy Reed, and Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. To his credit, Vaughan often digs deep, avoiding the more obvious choices ... the style Vaughan explores on Baby, Please Come Home [is] steeped in the postwar jump blues and swing of Louis Jordan and Roy Brown".
