Come Home is the first studio album by the contemporary Christian music band Luminate, and was released by the label Sparrow Records on January 25, 2011.
AllMusic's Jared Johnson said "together with a powerful rhythm section, Hancock and Clark prove they are the real thing by connecting with listeners who resonate with the struggles and prodigal cries invested in the lyrics.
""[3] CCM Magazine's Andy Argyrakis said "with the additional visibility comes an all-star production team of Paul Moak, Ed Cash and Ben Glover, who help direct an already solid modern rock sound laden with worshipful lyrics of abandon, surrender redemption.
"[4] Argyrakis wrote "besides their ability to instantly relate to others, these fresh faces aren't afraid to bear personal vulnerabilities, especially across the chant-heavy reflective balad, "Come Home""[4] Christian Manifesto's Lydia Akinola said "after first listening, one kind of feels you’ve maybe heard the album before in some previous life, they exhibit most of the aspects of conventional rock/pop album – the production, the hooks, the weird way it sounds like Tenth Avenue North meets the Afters.
"[5] Christian Music Zine's Tyler Hess said "this is the national debut for the self labeled pop-rock band from the Lone Star State.
"[6] Christianity Today's John Brandon said "big drums, sincere vocals, and sing-along choruses can't quite lift Luminate into the upper echelon of must-hear worship rock.
'Come Home' is masterfully produced to a very high quality with bucket loads of little musical touches and interest dotted throughout the album and anthemic choruses keep you hooked.
"[8] Jesus Freak Hideout's Jen Rose said "from start to finish, Come Home is a solid album and a great introduction to those who have yet to discover Luminate.
Though it may not break serious new ground or feel all that different from the genre, those craving some new music with a worshipful attitude and a soft spot for pop-friendly beats will find a fine release worth checking out.
"[10] New Release Tuesday's Kevin Davis said that "if you like OneRepublic, The Afters, Chris Tomlin and Brandon Heath, then you’ll really enjoy this new band.
To me, Sam Hancock is a potential male vocalist of the year and I find myself hanging on every word he sings as his vocals are passionate and reverberate from my speakers.
