"For singer-songwriter Hannah Cohen, these definitions are also fluid. For the artist, home encapsulates both meanings while symbolizing her shifting lifestyle. In her recent album Welcome Home, released from Bella Union, Cohen explores the new-found confidence and comfort correlated to reveling in a space that cultivates creativity and personal growth. After establishing residence and identity in New York City among the artists and writers, Cohen found the city’s speed and intensity draining. It was Cohen’s desire for change that nurtured Welcome Home into fruition." - Popmatters
"Expanding on the soft acoustic and electronic textures of 2015's Pleasure Boy, singer and songwriter Hannah Cohen's third album, Welcome Home, is her first to be produced by partner and frequent collaborator Sam Owens, aka Sam Evian. Given the hazy, nostalgic quality shared by their solo output, what sounds like a promising professional partnership in theory proves to be an effective one in practice here. The album opens with mere ukulele and Cohen's high-pitched, sustained plea, "This is your life," which soon transforms into something more rhythmic and determined but less of this earth on the words "Don't let it just happen to you." - Allmusic
