    Incredibly 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.

    Jack was everybody's favourite underground rapper, and now the new Drake.
    The problem is, he is not 2012 Drake, Jack went with 2022 Drake. He was never known as a womanizer, but now he is trying so hard to be. As a brand, it's working. But as an artist, more than half his album is endlessly flirting with the listener, I got grossed out halfway.

But as an artist, more than half his album is endlessly flirting with the listener, I got grossed out halfway. Most of Drake's new offerings that also endlessly talk to women is far more tolerable than this, because Drake eased people into his personas. Jack went all-in and it's jarring. And it's all just "first date" flirting. Fuccboi stuff.

    In "I got a shot", it's so clearly made for Young Thug, it might as well been a demo tape for Thugger to sing over.

    Jack mentioned in a recent interview that he made sure to lead the over production style, which is consistent. The album SOUNDS like a cohesive piece of work. The subject matter, not so much.
    The production may be consistent, but most of it is not anything new or inspiring. We already heard Nail Tech and First Class. Really gotta bring his main producer 2forwOyNE back, and make a RAP album.

    I saved Dua Lipa, Sidepiece, Churchill Downs, State Fair, so I enjoyed some of the album. Maybe I am being a little too critical because I enjoyed him so much as an underground artist and I do like him as a person.

    Bring 2forwOyNE and all your day-one producers back! And the glasses. Album name and cover made it sound like he was going to his roots to make a serious rap album, which I was sus about, and now I'm pretty disappointed. Stop flirting Jack, start rapping again.    … Expand

    Considero ele um artista com muito potencial, mas é nitido que nesse álbum ele está completamente ofuscado, espero que venham trabalhos melhores que esse.

    Extremely boring. That's it. Jack really needs to learn how not to only make good singles and drop a trash album.

    So this is a 4 or a low 5    … Expand

    Less than mediocre tracklist and weak performance from Jack Harlow. Overall, a boring and unfulfilling album.

    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.

    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.

    There are good moments here and there, and the only sin Harlow truly commits is that much of the LP is boring and forgettable, not even bad enough to be entertaining besides a few head-shaking lines.
