Critical reception
Laura Klonowski of Celebmix gave it a positive review, noting that "'Home' is a real feelgood, toe-tapping pop smash, and is the perfect song for an animation kids movie. The lyrics are fun and easy to learn which is great for the young audience, while the strong hooks, and catchy beat make it mature enough for older listeners to enjoy. And Nick Jonas' vocals sound incredible. It's a really great track that just makes you feel happy. The lyrics are full of meaning and sentiment, and overall it's just a really classic pop hit. Time and time again the former Jonas Brothers star proves himself to be one of our generations best vocalists and songwriters and with 'Home' he has once again showcased his immense talents to the world. He really is one of the best artists of our time."[5]
