At Home With Cherry Twister is the second studio album from American power pop band Cherry Twister. Following its release, Cherry Twister went on indefinite hiatus.
Critical reception
The album was particularly well received by British music journalists. In Shake Some Action: The Ultimate Power Pop Guide, John M. Borack writes "there's nary a false move to be found in At Home With Cherry Twister". The New Zealand Herald said the album "boasts all the virtues of great power-pop".
In a negative review, Jason Damas of AllMusic said of the album embodies "the D.I.Y. ethic of Ram-era McCartney while sounding like they spend lots of time listening to Beach Boys and Big Star records," but that it fails to "stumble across anything resembling a truly memorable hook."
