[7] Chantal Akerman's 2015 documentary film called No Home Movie inspired Gordon to name her album the same and give it sense and context.

[17] Danijela Bočev of The Quietus said "The album dazzles with the thrilling cocktail of styles Gordon's been through, as if changing channels on the coolest radio on earth.

[19] In his "Consumer Guide" column, Robert Christgau also highlighted the musical accomplishment of the album and recommended it be heard on quality speakers: "The guitars credited throughout meld with the electronics that dominate in a rough but also eloquently textured construct that complements the fragility and directness of Gordon’s sometimes pained, sometimes whispery vocals.
