It is their first non-studio album and their only live album until 1998's In Concert. As was common at the time, the CD and cassette versions of the album featured two songs that did not appear on the LP. The album cover shows both Paul Weller and Mick Talbot sitting on a stool, although both Dee C. Lee and Steve White appear on the album.
Reviewing the album, AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote: "Home & Abroad is a slick and earnest live set, but it's only of interest to die-hard Paul Weller fans."[1]
Tracks 1 and 7 did not appear on the vinyl album.
