"It's tempting to call This Is Where I Live a comeback, but the truth is Bell never went away. What the album does prove is that Bell's talent is as strong as ever, and that he's been given a chance to let it shine. Give a carpenter a small amount of marginal materials and he'll build a shed. Give that builder the proper supplies and he can construct a house. Give William Bell what he needs and he'll give you a mansion, and that's just what he's delivered with This Is Where I Live".

"Now 76 and recording for the revived Stax label, the Atlanta-based singer is in peak form ... Bell's warm voice is expertly supported by minimal instrumentation built around Leventhal's overdubbed guitar, keyboard, bass, drum and percussion parts, with the occasional use of understated horns, strings and harmony vocals, on this laid-back masterpiece of southern soul".
