Critical reception
Kongfooey of muzic.net.nz likened "Come Home" to the band's previous single "Drift Away", praising the song's "tropical upbeat summer pop vibe", "sparse and crisp production" and the song's vocal harmonies, and felt that the band's incorporation of electro-pop and folk in addition to roots reggae was a "nice fusion that sets them apart".[6]
