CRITIC REVIEWS

70
Gigwise

Though somewhat repetitious, and slightly formulaic in places, on balance Harlow doesn’t rest on his laurels; rising above the noise of his critics and digging deeper, to produce a more cohesive sound, that tentatively strays outside the parameters of contemporary hip-hop.

Clash
‘Come Home The Kids Miss You’ contains more meat, more muscle than his debut, with Jack’s penmanship focussing on fame, relationships, and the struggle to survive amid the glare of the spotlight.

NME

You’ll find a gem or two here and there, but this collection’s longevity is questionable.

Rolling Stone
He’s a smooth entertainer with a warm personality but the Louisville rapper doesn’t seem interested in much beyond dominating the charts.

AllMusic

Throughout too much of Come Home ... Harlow's flows are unchanging and his personality comes off as one-dimensional. Lyrical punch lines fall flat and vague themes of Harlow's hard-earned road to success or his various sexual exploits cycle around aimlessly song after song.

HipHopDX
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.

Exclaim!
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.

Spectrum Culture

Come Home the Kids Miss You is half-baked in its writing and frustratingly sloppy with its production.

Pitchfork
The charismatic rapper’s second album captures absolutely none of his real-life persona. It is among the most insipid, vacuous statements in recent pop history.

I don't think I can properly express in words how uninteresting Jack Harlow is to people who don't want to fuck him. He spends so much of this album assuming the person he's talking to - presumably the listener? - wants to fuck him. Sidepiece this, fuck the earrings off this bitch that, flexing for the hoes here and there. Which, I mean, it's not unheard of, I've heard a few people tell me he's hot. But like.. I don't. So, where's my music, Jack? And while we're here, where's music for the ... read more

While for most people this obviously a bad album they have a few high ratings... NOT ME. There is no highlight on this project at any point. It's utter shit

So many misses, the only song I still listen to is Churchill downs and even that song would be considered mid on most other albums. I hate saying that I miss the old version of artists but I definitely preferred Jack’s earlier albums.
