Reception
The release of "Home" was covered by the media. An editor from Scandipop said that the song is a throwback to the bounce music of the 2000s, elevated by a pop chorus followed by a huge instrumental post-chorus; the song was also included on Scandipop's Best New Pop playlist on Spotify. Mandy Rogers from EQ Music emphasized that "Home" is made in Basshunter's style, is produced like europop music, and is softer in comparison to his earlier songs. Football journalist Richard Buxton said that the song "could've done with a bit more work". The release of Basshunter's new single was also spotted by Allstarz.ee, Official Charts, Radio Eska, Top 40 and Top Playlists.
