Six tracks were selected from more than 140 possible cuts for the disc and a few songs were streamed ahead of release, including 'Sunset,' a track that Kid Ink says 'really motivated the EP.

Critical reception[edit]

Upon its release, Almost Home was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Rick Florino of Artistdirect said 'Ink's got an undeniable ability to infuse that sharp sensibility into even catchier fare like the R&B-tinged goodbye 'Was It Worth It' featuring Sterling Simms, while elsewhere 'Sunset' coasts from video game-esque keyboards into a cinematic narrative cruising Cali with no cares.'^[13] DJBooth.net said 'Kid Ink knows what he does well and has it down to a fine science; he demonstrate his ability to put together a high-energy song and his hooks are top notch, while not without its flaws, the Almost Home EP is a good jumping off point for the emcee. I see a lot of talent, but there is room for growth.'^[18]

Trent Fitzgerald of PopCrush praised it saying, 'The collection boasts six anthemic tunes that should get you charged for the summer months ahead. Standouts include the bombastic song 'Money and the Power', the inspiring track 'Sunset' and the laid-back remix of 'Bad Ass'.'^[19]The Source said of the EP 'What makes this it appealing though is the balance Kid Ink found in allowing listeners into the carefree, TMZ lifestyle he’s caught up in due to his fame and also capturing themes the average person can relate to-grinding everyday to achieve goals.'^[16] NMB of XXL said, 'Throughout the EP, Ink shows confidence in his rhymes and a strong command of his hooks, slinging catchy boasts alongside A$AP Ferg and French Montana on “Bossin’ Up”. Walking the line between singing and rapping on songs like “Fuck Sleep” and “Sunset” Ink’s sound has a distinctly laid-back California feel on the whole.'^[20]
