Home Town (song)

[4] In the song's lyrics, Jackson sings from the perspective of a busy city worker who longs to leave his current standing and return to his childhood home, which he doesn't even know is still there.

It was backed with the Big World track "Tango Atlantico" in Britain and a live version of "I'm the Man" in America.

Upon its release as a single, Michael Pilgrim of Record Mirror praised it as a "thoughtful guitar-based twiddler that's low key throughout".

[5] Paul Taylor of the Manchester Evening News praised it as "another winner from Big World – one of the year's most exciting albums" and noted the "simple, twangy, sparse backing for a typically thought-provoking lyric".

[6] Alan Poole, writing for the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph, stated, "Jackson has been quietly totting up the hits for several years now, and this latest single, as laidback and homely as the title suggests, should carve another notch.
