Critical reception

Madeline Roth of MTV compared the lyrics to other One Direction song's such as "Don't Forget Where You Belong" and "Through The Dark".[9] Ella Ceron of Teen Vogue stated, "'Home'... hits somewhere between the power ballads 1D already does so well, and the heartbreak anthem that makes us just want to hug our boys."[5]
