Reception
The AllMusic review of the CD reissue combining the album with Chi-Congo stated "Go Home is an adventurous (even for this group), 1970 session that encompasses droning, atmospheric introductions and interludes, rollicking old-timey swing, splattery avant-garde honk-and-clatter that includes an extended interlude of what sounds like junkyard percussion, a quite beautiful and atmospheric piece including vocals by AEOC trumpeter Lester Bowie's wife, Fontella Bass, and the side-long, Stravinsky-esque "Dance," which features eight additional horn players and a string section. Crisply recorded, it's a showcase for many facets of the Art Ensemble's music, and a major work in their discography".
