Versions

The International version was produced by Cyndi Lauper, Jimmy Bralower and William Wittman, recorded by William Wittman and Jan Pulsford and mixed by William Wittman and is approximately 4:36 in length. It starts with a beat in the opening bar of the song, and includes a distinctive sample (male voice signing "here") throughout the track. The sample is of "Here I Stand" (written by Justin Hinds) as recorded in 1994 by Bitty McLean for his Just to Let You Know... album and "Here I Stand" single.[4]

The US version was produced by Cyndi Lauper and Junior Vasquez, recorded by P. Dennis Mitchell with mix and additional recording from Joe 'The Butcher' Nicolo and has a runtime approximately 4:32. The version commences with a reggae-style bass/guitar riff before the beat commences, the song ends with an ad-lib, a cappella chorus.

Critical reception

James Masterton complimented the cod-reggae of "Come On Home" in his weekly UK chart commentary in Dotmusic.[5] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "Summer in the city demands for beach records. Lauper provides the sunbeams by returning to the basic charm of early reggae records by the likes of Jimmy Cliff and Desmond Dekker."[6] A reviewer from Music Week rated the song three out of five, adding, "This track from the colourful singer's Deadly Cyns album sees her vocals sitting quite comfortably on top of some UB40-style lite reggae. Radio friendly and probably a hit."[7]
