Trouser Press wrote: "Bringing the brain-dead grandiosity of late-'70s harmony-rockers like Styx and Supertramp to the modern world, Deep Blue Something ... combines big acoustic/electric strumming and airy, melodramatic singing into a resoundingly hollow album unimproved by its good intentions." [7] The Washington Post stated: "A folk-rock band that frequently attacks its material with hard-rock vehemence, Deep Blue Something is the latest Southern combo to mate R.E.M. with '70s mainstream rock." [8]
The Austin Chronicle awarded the album zero stars (out of five), deeming it "lame," and its hit single "safely stupid." [6] The Philadelphia Inquirer called Home "a melodic amalgamation of kicky power pop, hair-in-your-face shoe-gazer drone, and neo-progressive '70s guitar rock, all infused with punk energy, sly optimism, and plenty of jangly guitars." [4]
AllMusic praised the "power-pop sound straight out of late-'70s/early-'80s Great Britain." [5]
All songs written by Todd Pipes, except where noted.
