Homemade (The Osmonds album)

Homemade is the second studio album released by The Osmonds (second under that name). It reached No. 22 on the Billboard Top LPs chart on August 7, 1971. The single "Double Lovin'" peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. It took the brothers only six days to record the entire album. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on January 20, 1972.

Critical reception
Dave Thompson of AllMusic described the album as "Little more than the highlights of a stage act honed through appearances at sundry cabaret clubs and on TV", also calling it "good-natured pop with a saccharine bent, and so utterly directionless that even the Jackson 5-isms that would soon be sweeping into their set (and had already distinguished their maiden hit, "One Bad Apple") have yet to be tapped."
