Tribune News Service Roger Moore
Home is a energetic, obvious animated comedy packed with the sort of low humor and silly laughs that drive very small children wild.

TheWrap James Rocchi
There's nothing in Home that you haven't seen before, but there's a lot in it your kids haven't; as animated sci-fi for small fry, it's a success whose modest but well-executed ambitions are no small part of its charm.

Home is funny, colourful and fast-paced.

Variety Peter Debruge
Unimaginative and downright predictable by grownup standards, but bursting with elements sure to appeal to younger auds.

Village Voice Stephanie Zacharek
If director Tim Johnson -- adapting Adam Rex's book The True Meaning of Smekday -- can't do much with the story's confused, if well-intentioned, agenda, at least he's got some charming, vivid characters to work with.

The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen
Director Tim Johnson (DreamWorks' Antz) and writing team of Tom J. Astle and Matt Ember (Epic), keep the momentum humming and the amusing bits reasonably entertaining, but they can't vanquish the prevailing feeling of deja vu, and that the Boov are merely Minions of a different hue.

Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten
If overly familiar and uninspired, Home is nevertheless agreeable, especially for young viewers who haven't been down this road countless times.

New York Post Sara Stewart
It's refreshing to see a nonwhite lead, and the husky-voiced pop singer is likable as a brave-hearted kid searching for her mother. But man, is there a lot of Rihanna in this movie: She also provides what seems like the entirety of the film's soundtrack, making it feel like a vanity project (is “vanimation” a thing?).

The Telegraph Mike McCahill
This underdeveloped offering barely lifts itself off the drawing board.

Slant Magazine Eric Henderson
Home's exposition is a mess of forced zaniness, which leaves the rest of the film with a Swiss-cheese foundation.
