Critical reception
Musician reviewer J. D. Considine wrote simply: "Don't wait up." The Philadelphia Inquirer deemed Home by Dawn "one of the best, most enjoyable L.A. rock albums in years." The New York Times noted that "although his idiom certainly is reminiscent of the Eagles', his very lack of dominant commercial success helps preserve his sense of freshness."Track listing
