Critical reception
Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:
As such, we breathed a sigh of relief when the four-piece confirmed 'Baby Come Home' as their next single. Partly because its mix of bouncy piano and funky guitar is more addictive than a game of Temple Run, but mainly because it recalls classic Scissor Sisters circa 2004. It's a welcome reminder of their roots and one that deserves to replicate some of their heyday success. .
