Making his breakthrough with "Føler mig selv 100" in 2019, and later featuring on popular Danish hit "Stor mand" with Tobias Rahim, Odbjerg's debut studio album was anticipated when it was first announced in January 2022.[6] Three singles preceded the album's release, with "Blev du fanget af noget?" being the last of them when it released in January.[6] Hjem fra fabrikken released on 4 March 2022.[7]
The album received generally positive reviews, with Politiken giving it a rating of six out of six hearts.[4] Soundvenue reviewer Kjartan Stolberg highlighted the songwriting, writing that Odbjerg had cemented himself as one of Denmark's best.[5] Reviews from several publications were split on the lyrics, with Politiken and Dagbladet Information saw the relatable writing and humanist,[4][8] while Jyllands-Posten writer Anders Houmøller Thomsen wrote the lyrics were catchy but shallow.[3]
Following the album's release, Hjem fra fabrikken first appeared on the Hitlisten charts at number two on 16 March.[9] Five weeks later, it became a number-one album in Denmark, a position it held for three weeks.[10][11] The album's title track, "Hjem fra fabrikken", became Odbjerg's first number-one hit single when it reached number one the same week as the album.[12] The album has since gone on to achieve Platinum certification three times by IFPI Danmark,[13] with the title track achieving Platinum four times.[14]
