Critical reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that "When the tempos are swift and the production bustling -- "Take It from Me" and especially "Singles You Up," a frothy bit of country-pop that leaves a surprisingly indelible imprint—he seems to be the ringleader at happy hour, but when things slow down, as they do on "More Than I Know" and "Made That Way," he seems sensitive."{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/home-state-mw0003149123|title=Home State|last=Erlewine|first=Stephen Thomas|work=Allmusic|accessdate=April 3, 2018}} Annie Reuter of Sounds Like Nashville reviewed the album positively, stating that "Overall a standout debut that highlights Davis' ability as both a vocalist and a songwriter, Home State marries big sounds and production with the vulnerability of his lyrics for a truly enjoyable listen."{{cite web|url=http://www.soundslikenashville.com/news/album-review-jordan-davis-home-state/|title=Album Review: Jordan Davis' 'Home State'|last=Reuter|first=Annie|work=Sounds Like Nashville|date=19 March 2018 |accessdate=April 3, 2018}}
