"Aided by guitar, banjo and ukulele Martin Simpson has adapted to the times and gone back to basics, recording at home, to produce an album that demands, and indeed rightly deserves, your attention".

"Simpson brings his usual strengths, and considerable talents, to bear on an intimate and playful record which is a pleasant listen. There is nothing mind-blowing about 'Home Recordings', but there doesn't have to be. It's a window into a moment in Simpson's life that was filled with reflection, melancholy and, ultimately, peace. All this has bled over and blended wonderfully into the recordings".

"After two albums in Trails and Tribulations and Rooted that saw Martin Simpson add more to his sound after the spare and economical Vagrant Stanzas, circumstances all but dictated his next move and the resulting solo project is a warm and generous selection of songs both old and new and instrumentals that quietly and calmly comment on and celebrate the beauty of life at a time when many need reminding. Although of course impeccably performed with a huge amount of skill and musical prowess, there is still something pure and beautiful about this music that finely balances it and sets it apart from any other Martin Simpson album I can think of. A wonderful achievement and gratefully received".

"Top of the world" - "Simpson was scheduled to deliver a live album this year. Instead, he went home, found a room, pressed record, and with stray accompaniment from a gaggle of geese and assorted birdsong, laid down these 14 intimate recordings, just voice and guitar, slide and banjo. It's familiar Simpson territory, a mix of Americana and Anglicana, roots music gently delivered, sometimes carrying sharp messages in its contours. The opening Lyle Lovett song, 'Family Reserve', is a busy and entertaining narrative about death, while the brief banjo instrumental, 'Lonesome Valley Geese', bears a stray vocal featuring some passing feathered friends. Folk song 'Deliah' is a highlight, and there are fine covers of the late John Prine's 'Angel from Montgomery' and Robin Williamson's 'October Song' (from The Incredible String Band's 1966 debut) ... The whitewater banjo of 'House Carpenter' speeds us all down to hell, while 'The Times They are a-Changin'' [proves] that when the world's changed beyond comprehension, it's still Dylan who expresses that the best".
