It certainly will pickup from the back, but if you're close micing, the front will dominate. I wouldn't use one in a terrible space, like the bathroom, but if you can get half-way decent recordings in a space, they should work. There are a couple of nice videos of Wes Dooley talking about the intent of the mic and demoing in some home-studio like environments on You Tube.
