"And though it's not a perfect record, 'Home Again' is nevertheless undeniably one of the most affecting records of the year." Pitchfork, 8 out of 10

"Home Again is a vital record from a vital artist, drawing on his 30 years of music-making to create a wonderfully evocative, personal, honest and raw set of songs - the power and pull of which are, right now, helping him along the road to recovery. A hero, any way you slice it." Observer Music Monthly, 4 out of 5

"It's hard to believe Edwyn Collins's sixth album was recorded before the two debilitating strokes that hit him in February 2005. His condition has only sharpened Home Again's contemplative flavour. Long-serving fans of the former Orange Juice frontman may mourn the fact that his waspish wit is confined to a couple of digs at the current rock scene, but will surely relish the sheer craftsmanship. Leviathan is handsome, ocean-going folk, while Written in Stone almost beats Richard Hawley at his own game; after all, Collins was indie music's first crooner. Whatever the circumstances, this would be a fine record. Given Collins' brush with mortality, it's an especially moving one." The Guardian, 4 out of 5
