    Harlow builds upon his bedrock strengths and finds a heady musical elixir for his new album, a vibe more potent, direct and swaggering than on his first major label outing. ... If “Come Home the Kids Miss You” feels like Harlow’s “Off the Wall,” could his “Thriller” be very far away? Thankfully, Harlow is the type of artist that warrants that question.
  2. The record doesn’t feature a bunch of seminal tracks, instead packing filler between his knockout singles such as ‘First Class’. You’ll find a gem or two here and there, but this collection’s longevity is questionable.

    ‘Come Home The Kids Miss You’ illustrates that he’s not quite there yet, but he’s certainly Justified.

    The sound of Come Home the Kids Miss You is polished and ready for the massive level of worldwide commercial success Harlow has been building up to, but it's difficult to find much substance beneath the expensive sheen.

    Jack Harlow’s sophomore effort was meant as a testament to his passion for the game but instead, it translates into a monotonous record that often plays out like a direct contradiction to what he’s claimed — and that contradiction is ultimately damning.

    Jack Harlow’s attempts at grandiose appeal ultimately fall short on “Come Home The Kids Miss You”. The young rapper fails to inspire or interest and his attempts at grand standing charm are without merit.

    Musically, it’s unfulfilling, lacking standout melodies or exciting rhythms. The sound of Come Home the Kids Miss You, in turn, is about as sophisticated and interesting as a Daniel Arsham sculpture, neat at a glance but vapid upon any extended interrogation.

But all of a sudden people started hating on him (because he’s a white rapper), it reminds me of Iggy Azalea, an outstanding rapper who got destroyed by the public’s hypocrisy; just like Taylor Swift says: “I think I’ve seen this film before, and a didn’t like the ending” Expand

    Incredibly disappointing, overwhelmingly bland. Not a single stand out track. Doesn't even work well as background music. Nail Tech is theIncredibly disappointing, overwhelmingly bland. Not a single stand out track. Doesn't even work well as background music. Nail Tech is the closest to a standout track and even then his music peaked way before this album was released. Expand
