What makes Homecoming — both the album and the live performance — so classic is that Beyonce makes clear, now and forever, that she is unapologetically, and beautifully, Black.

Beyoncé’s historic Coachella set is preserved as a stunning live album that captures an artist at her peak, flexing her catalog and shining a light on the genius of black artists that came before her.

As far as concert albums go, Homecoming is a master class in technical prowess, crowd pleasing, and soulful substance.

Homecoming: The Live Album is the type of victory lap worthy of a queen.

Beyoncé pulls out all the stops on HOMECOMING, a live album of epic proportions.

Beyoncé's Homecoming is one of the most impressive shows ever, but its need to tell us how impressive it is deflates some of its awe ... As great as it is to have a star as ambitious as Beyoncé in the upper echelons of pop culture, the top-of-the-world thing is getting a little irritating.

A Beyoncé fan's wet dream, HOMECOMING isn't here to change anyone's mind but instead highlight the connection between Beyoncé and her supporters. It should be no surprise that her voice sounds beautiful on every track, but what did surprise me is how these songs sound refreshingly different and updated on this new record.

For anyone calling this "the best live album of all time"
Have you heard of 98.12.28 or Public Castration Is A Good Idea?
HOMECOMING is a really great live album by Beyoncé. It is true that Beychella is incredibly iconic, and this album shows it. I feel that most of the songs she chose to play in the performance were great choices. A lot of them were not only her biggest hits, but also sounded great played in a band. The only song I felt was pretty bad was I Been On. Overall, I would recommend a listen to this album.
She’s easily a top 10 performer ever. I’m not even a huge fan of her most revered albums but this live album perfectly encapsulates what i once loved about her as a child. it’s energetic, powerful, fun, and a damn good time.
