Music gave it a favorable review and said, "Recalling ''Come Away With Me'' only for Jones’s sultry voice, the album has its share of pleasant throwaways, but those are balanced by a handful of starkly beautiful and excellently arranged songs." ''The A.V. Club'' also gave it a favorable review and stated that the album "should neither shock old fans nor disappoint those hoping to hear () reach for more."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Review: Norah Jones: Feels Like Home · Music Review · The A.V. Club )〕 E! Online gave it a B+ and said, "Instead of making any stupid concessions to her sudden celebrity... the Home girl plays it cool, carrying on with the same smooth vibes that made her a star."〔 ''Spin'' also gave it a B+, calling it "A better record than ''Come Away''--less piano bar, more honkey-tonk."〔 ''Mojo'' gave it four stars out of five and said the album was "similar to the debut.... But there's a more vivid light-and-shade to the textures and a craft and depth to the compositions that represent a welcome distillation of Jones' art."〔 ''The Village Voice'' gave the album a positive review and stated, "If the choice of songs and beat and instrumentation were sometimes restrictive, still the piano and the voice endured."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Review of Norah )〕 ''Blender'' gave it three-and-a-half stars out of five and said that its mood was "more or less the same, if slight friskier."〔 Other reviews are average, mixed or negative: ''Uncut'' gave the album three stars out of five and stated that, "Yes, it's an unchallenging and even deeply conservative record. But its class is positively aristocratic."
